It feels incredibly exciting as we approach the weekend! That’s right, the renowned Calvin Harris is set to grace Dubai with his presence this Saturday, October 26, and anticipation is running high.

The Dubai edition is also set to welcome Swiss techno duo Adriatique in November, along with an extravagant New Year’s Eve celebration featuring the remarkable humanoid act and Italian duo Mathame.

When will Calvin Harris perform?
Prepare for an unforgettable night! Doors for the Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience will open at 6 PM and close at 4 AM. It’s important to note that once you enter the venue, re-entry will not be permitted, so make sure to arrive on time to secure your spot. While the exact start time of Calvin Harris’s set hasn’t been announced yet, keep an eye on Time Out Dubai for updates. Additionally, Australian DJ Tyson O’Brien will also perform, so arriving early will give you the chance to enjoy another great act.
Getting to Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience
Reaching the venue is straightforward, but be prepared for limited parking spaces. If you do choose to drive, simply follow the signs for Dubai Harbour from Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard. However, organizers recommend using public transport; the tram is your best option for a shorter walk. Stop at Mina Seyahi Tram Station for a quick stroll to the venue. If you’re taking the Metro, the closest station is Nakheel Harbour and Tower on the red line, which is about 5km from the site. The location is near Be Beach DXB in the Dubai Marina, making it a scenic trek if you fancy a walk. There will also be designated drop-off and collection points for ridesharing services, so your driver will have no trouble finding the spot.
How to pay at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience
This event will be cashless, so attendees will receive a wristband that can be topped up with funds either online before the event or at top-up stations during the festival. This system is similar to what was used at UNTOLD Dubai earlier this year, streamlining the process for purchasing merchandise and drinks. A food court will be available to keep your energy up throughout the festivities. Note that the wristband cannot be used for food and drinks, where cash or card will be accepted. Any unspent funds on your wristband can be refunded at a designated refund station during the event, but be cautious—refunds will not be processed after the event concludes, so plan your top-ups wisely.
Tickets starting from Dhs650. Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience, Dubai Marina. From 6 PM. More details at ushuaiadubai.com.
