Abu Dhabi's Offlimits Music Festival, which was due to be headlined by Shakira and the Jonas Brothers at Etihad Park Yas Island next month, has been postponed until November.

The original date was scheduled for April 4, with performers Ne-Yo and Biffy Clyro also signed up, but the decision has been made to move the show to November 21 owing to the current regional tensions surrounding the US/Israel attacks on Iran.

Those who already bought tickets have been told that their purchases will remain valid for the delayed showing later this year.

This year would have been just the second edition of the festival after making its debut last year with Ed Sheeran headlining.

A Shakira concert due to take place in Doha on April 1 has also been postponed due to the "current regional situation," Visit Qatar said in a social media post on Tuesday.
