Calvin Harris to kick off Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience

The artist will take to the stage on 26 October.

As the UAE heads into the cooler months, it’s time to get excited about alfresco brunches and a plethora of upcoming concerts. While Enrique Iglesias and Macklemore have added some sparkle to this year’s musical lineup, Calvin Harris is returning to Dubai as well.

Taking place on Saturday, 26 October, Calvin Harris will headline as the first act of the Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience. His show will set the tone for what’s to come — until May 2025 — as the venue promises an array of shows.

Calvin Harris is no stranger to the Middle East, having headlined Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, MDLBeast SoundStorm and Ultra Abu Dhabi in 2023. In fact, he’s also a resident DJ at Ushuaïa Ibiza which makes his upcoming act even more exciting. He will be joined on stage by Australian dynamo Tyson O’Brien, who plays weekly with him at Ushuaïa Ibiza.

For those unversed with Calvin Harris’ repertoire, he’s got over 56 billion streams, ranking amongst the biggest streaming artists in the world, and is one of the most viewed artists on YouTube. Throughout his career, he’s won two of 14 MTV VMA nominations and garnered five Grammy nominations. In 2013, he received a Grammy Award for Best Music Video for his hit song We Found Love, a collaboration with Rihanna. His career also features collaborations with international superstars like Frank Ocean, Pharrell Williams, The Weeknd and Travis Scott.

Located at Dubai Harbour, the Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience aims to take Dubai’s nightlife to new heights. Backed by The Night League, the team behind popular venues Hi Ibiza and Ushuaïa Ibiza, and in partnership with Studio A by Addmind Hospitality, known for hotspots like Babylon, Iris, and White, this new venture is set to wow crowds in the UAE.

While Calvin Harris is just the first artist to be announced, more special guests are yet to be unveiled, promising an exciting lineup. Pre-sale for the concert begins on Tuesday, 13 August so make sure to sign up for early access to tickets and VIP tables.
