NEMIGA Live 2026 in Dubai

NEMIGA live in Dubai brings the electro-pop duo from Minsk to Harat’s Republic on Saturday 5 December 2026. Vlad Sobolev and Karina Pill perform in Russian, with a set built around the songs that have made them favourites with Russian-speaking audiences around the world, including the Shazam hit “Belym”. The listing is known in Russian as “5 December, NEMIGA in Dubai”.

If you have had “Belym” on repeat, this is your chance to hear it live in the city, in a club-sized room rather than a stadium.

Who are NEMIGA?

NEMIGA is a Belarusian electro-pop duo formed in 2018. They named the band after the street they grew up on, Nemiga, right in the heart of Minsk, which gives their music a personal, hometown feel. The project started out under the name SBLV ft Lidiya Lemyr before becoming NEMIGA, and Karina Pill, who previously worked as a model, joined Vlad Sobolev in 2020 to form the current line-up.

Although the duo comes from Belarus, they write and sing in Russian, which is why their audience stretches across Russia, Belarus and the wider Russian-speaking world, including the many fans now living in the UAE.

Their songs blend catchy, melancholy melodies with modern electronic production, the kind of tracks that work as well on headphones as they do on a dance floor. In February 2025 “Belym” entered Shazam’s global Top 100 chart, a sign of how far their music has travelled beyond their home city. Their fifth studio album, MADE IN MINSK, runs to 23 tracks and features duets with artists including Dmitry Malikov, Susanna and Navai, and the duo has been touring Russian cities through 2026.

The NEMIGA setlist in Dubai

The listing names “Belym”, “Alye Zakaty”, “Khrustal” and “Posle Viski” among the songs on the night, alongside other tracks fans will recognise. “Belym” is the obvious singalong moment, while “Alye Zakaty” (Scarlet Sunsets) and “Khrustal” (Crystal) show the more atmospheric side of the duo’s writing, and “Posle Viski” (After Whisky) leans into their late-night, slightly heartbroken mood.

This is a live concert rather than a DJ set, with the duo performing on stage, and the organisers promise a proper live show and a big atmosphere: the kind of night where the crowd sings along to every chorus. With the whole concert in Russian, it is aimed squarely at fans who know the words.

A Russian-language night in Dubai

Dubai has a large Russian-speaking community, and concerts by Russian-language artists have become a regular part of the city’s winter calendar. They tend to take place in smaller venues, where the connection between artist and audience is much closer than at a big arena, and they bring together residents and visitors around songs that feel familiar. For NEMIGA fans living in the UAE, it is a chance to see the duo without travelling to Minsk or Moscow.

The concert suits fans of Russian-language pop, longtime followers of NEMIGA and anyone who loves catchy electro-pop with a live edge. It works best as a night out with a group of friends.

Harat’s Republic and getting there

Harat’s Republic is a live-music pub on the ground floor of the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Waterfront, on Al Abraj Street in Business Bay. It celebrated its first birthday on 1 May 2026 with a show headlined by Russian Size, and in its first year it built a programme with a strong Russian-language focus, hosting acts such as Komnata Kultury and SAGAMON alongside themed nights like a Valentine’s Day love-song concert. NEMIGA’s visit fits neatly into that line-up.

The pub setting keeps the stage and crowd close together, with plenty of noise and energy, which suits an intimate electro-pop show far better than a seated hall. It is a late-night adult venue rather than a family one. For venue enquiries, Harat’s Republic lists +971 58 576 7676.

By Metro, take the Red Line to Business Bay station; from there it is about a ten-minute walk towards Dubai Waterfront. If you are driving or taking a taxi, set your destination as the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Waterfront, or Al Abraj Street. The ticket page also suggests that Dubai Tram riders can get off at the Dubai Marina stop and take a cab from there.

Doors open well before the duo takes the stage, and the night runs into the early hours, so plan your ride home in advance. The ticket page does not list an age policy or a dress code, so contact the organisers if you need to check either before you go. If you can no longer attend, the listing says tickets can be exchanged with another fan.
