Black Coffee Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Opening Party 2026 in Dubai

Black Coffee at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour is the big one for house music fans this autumn, as the South African DJ and producer headlines the Season 3 Opening Party on Saturday 24 October 2026. He has already sold out two headline shows at the venue, in 2024 and 2025, and this time he returns with an all-new visual production to open the new season in style.

About Black Coffee at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour

Black Coffee is one of the most influential figures in electronic music. He was the first South African artist to win a GRAMMY, he holds a residency at Hï Ibiza, and in May 2026 he became the first African DJ to sell out London’s The O2 Arena. In Dubai, he has become something of a fixture at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience, with two sold-out headline shows here already.

This night marks the start of the venue’s third season, so expect a proper occasion. Tickets and VIP tables are both on sale.

What to Expect

Expect a late night with a big crowd, a fresh visual production and a headline set from one of the most in-demand DJs in the world. The calendar listing runs 8pm to 3am, so pace yourself.

The Headliner

Black Coffee takes the decks as headliner of the Season 3 Opening Party, with a brand new visual show created for the night.

The Atmosphere

Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience is an open, festival-style venue by the water, and an opening party usually brings an extra buzz.

Tables and Tickets

Both general tickets and VIP tables are available, so you can choose between the dance floor and a more relaxed spot with your group.

Plan Your Night

Opening parties tend to be busy, so it pays to sort out your ride home in advance and to keep your ID and ticket handy on your phone. If you are coming with a group, a VIP table gives you a base for the night and a little more space when the dance floor fills up.
