OFFLIMITS Festival has been confirmed as the title partner for the 2025 International Festival Forum (IFF), set to take place from 9–11 September in central London.
The festival, which launched in Abu Dhabi earlier this year, is produced by UAE-based event company Theory Eleven (T11) Entertainment.
The inaugural edition attracted over 30,000 attendees and featured performances from Ed Sheeran, OneRepublic, Faithless, and Kaiser Chiefs, making it the largest open-format music festival in the UAE to date.

IFF is an invitation-only event capped at 1,000 attendees, with more than 50 countries represented. It brings together agents and festival promoters for meetings, networking, and discussions on key industry topics.
The 2025 programme will include a keynote interview with AEG Presents’ Jim King and a session with Serbia’s EXIT Festival addressing the political challenges facing event organisers.
A wider range of workshops, networking mixers, and speed-meeting events are also planned.
