&ME Live at Pacha ICONS 2026 in Dubai

&ME Live at Pacha ICONS 2026 in Dubai brings one of the founders of Berlin’s Keinemusik collective to Playa Pacha, the open-air dancefloor at FIVE LUXE JBR, on Saturday 5 December. The listing promises his signature mix of soulful house, techno, warm melodies and intricate percussion, played outdoors with the Arabian Gulf, Ain Dubai and the Dubai skyline as the backdrop. Doors open at 9pm.

Who is &ME?

&ME is a German DJ and producer and one of the four founders of Keinemusik, the Berlin label and collective he started in 2009 with Adam Port, Rampa and Reznik. Keinemusik began as a small independent label and has grown into one of the best-known names in melodic and Afro-influenced house, with more than 60 releases, two collective albums, You Are Safe in 2017 and Send Return in 2021, and sets everywhere from Boiler Room Berlin and Tomorrowland to a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in 2021.

The collective’s reach goes well beyond the club. In 2022 &ME and Rampa worked on two songs, Falling Back and A Keeper, for Drake’s album Honestly, Nevermind, and in 2024 &ME was part of Thandaza, a Keinemusik release with Rampa, Adam Port, Alan Dixon and Arabic Piano. His own catalogue includes The Rapture series, with The Rapture Pt.III recorded with South African house star Black Coffee.

Keinemusik’s profile kept rising through the 2020s. The collective played Germany’s Fusion festival in 2019 and Arte’s United We Stream broadcast in April 2020, and in December 2020 it was written into Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Cayo Perico Heist update, introducing the crew to a whole new audience. In 2024 the label released Move by Adam Port, Stryv and Orso featuring Malachiii, and the collective’s 2026 single Be The One was produced by Adam Port and SG Lewis. &ME’s solo sets carry that same Keinemusik signature.

Tracks fans will know

The listing highlights three of his records, Say What, Crazy For It and See You Again, as examples of the sound that made him a familiar name in electronic music. They capture what &ME does best: rolling, percussive grooves with warm melodic hooks that build slowly rather than chasing quick drops.

Pacha ICONS and Playa Pacha

Pacha ICONS is the Dubai home of the Pacha nightlife brand, best known from Ibiza, and it is based at FIVE LUXE JBR on The Walk. Its Playa Pacha space is an outdoor, beachfront dancefloor, and the views are a big part of the draw: the sea in front, Ain Dubai on Bluewaters across the water and the towers of JBR and Dubai Marina around you. For a melodic, groove-led headliner, an open-air setting in the mild December weather is a good fit.

Timings

Doors open at 9pm. The ticket page does not give an official closing time or set times, and its two calendar links disagree, with one running to 3am and the other ending much earlier, so treat the finish as unconfirmed. No support acts are listed yet.

Ticket types

There are two ticket categories on the listing: one for entry before 11pm and one for dancefloor access. The early-entry option is tied to arrival time, so if you choose it, plan to be through the door before 11pm. Check what each category includes before you book, as the two are not interchangeable.

Entry details

The listing does not state an age policy or dress code for this night. The venue may apply its own door policy, so it is worth checking with Pacha ICONS directly if you are unsure.

Getting to FIVE LUXE JBR

By car, take Sheikh Zayed Road and follow the route onto Al Mamsha Street and The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence. By public transport, ride the Metro Red Line to Sobha Realty station, change to the Dubai Tram at Dubai Marina 2 and ride to Jumeirah Beach Residence 1, then walk the short distance to the hotel. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the simplest option for the journey home after a late finish.

A note on the listing

The Platinumlist page shows Saturday 5 December 2026 in its title, description and main calendar link, but the image files attached to it are labelled with an earlier 9 May 2026 date, which suggests the page was reused from a previous &ME booking. The 5 December date is the one on sale, but keep an eye on your booking confirmation.

Who it suits

This is a night for Keinemusik fans who follow the collective’s releases and want to hear one of its founders in an open-air setting, for anyone who likes their house music soulful and percussive rather than hard and fast, and for groups looking for a Saturday by the sea at the start of the festive season.
