In anticipation of the highly awaited Green Day concert at Expo City Dubai on January 27, 2025, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced an extension of the Dubai Metro’s operating hours.

Extended Metro Timings
On the day of the concert, the Dubai Metro Red Line will extend its service hours, with the final train departing from the Expo 2020 Station at 12:05 AM on January 28, 2025. This extension provides concertgoers ample time to enjoy the event without concerns about returning home.
