Over 15,000 guests gathered under the Dubai skyline to witness global superstar Calvin Harris headline the inaugural event

Dubai’s nightlife scene reached new heights on Saturday, 26th October, as the highly anticipated Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience made its unforgettable debut. Over 15,000 people from around the world gathered to witness the multi-experience event, headlined by global music icon Calvin Harris. This landmark event marked the first of many unmissable nights at Dubai’s newest open-air nightlife destination.

Towering above the crowd at 25 meters high and 50 meters wide, the Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience stage is five times the size of its Ibiza counterpart. Set against Dubai’s stunning skyline, it played host to an exhilarating 10-hour musical journey, featuring performances from global superstar Calvin Harris, Australian dynamo Tyson O’Brien and local residents.

To mark the opening event, the iconic Ushuaïa logo lit up the Dubai Harbour skyline during an impressive 15-minute drone show, visible from across the city and heralding the arrival of the legendary Ibiza brand to Dubai. Every detail of the event was crafted to enhance the guest experience, including cutting-edge lighting, design, and production by the acclaimed High Scream team.

The Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience is a joint venture between The Night League (the creative powerhouse behind world-renowned nightlife destinations Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza) and Dubai’s leading hospitality group Studio A by Addmind Hospitality (the creators of leading venues including White Club, Iris and Babylon). For those who missed the opening event, this is just the beginning. With a spectacular series of events programmed throughout winter ‘24 & spring ‘25, this bold new residency will continue to showcase the world’s biggest electronic music stars, offering an unparalleled open-air musical experience.
