Switch Disco & Brunch 2026

Switch Disco & Brunch in Dubai brings the Ibiza favourites Switch Disco to the poolside at Bla Bla Beach Club on Saturday 14 November 2026, and it is a bigger moment than a one-off party. This date opens a brand new monthly residency for the duo at the JBR venue, so the first edition sets the tone for the months that follow. The day is split in two: a long poolside brunch with resident DJs first, then Switch Disco taking over as the sun goes down.

If your idea of a good Saturday is lunch that slowly turns into dancing, with the sea a few steps away, this one was built for you. Here is how the day works and how to plan it.

About Switch Disco & Brunch at Bla Bla Beach Club

The event runs across two clear sessions, each sold as its own ticket package, so you choose the part of the day that suits you.

The Poolside Brunch runs from 12pm to 4pm. It includes unlimited food and house beverages, with the NS Boulevard DJs playing through the afternoon. This is the slower, sociable half of the day: long tables, plates arriving, and music that builds gradually rather than hitting full volume from the first minute.

The Sunset Drunch runs from 5pm to 8pm. It includes unlimited house beverages, and it is the session built around the headline act. Switch Disco play poolside as the light fades, which is exactly the slot their sound suits best.

Sun loungers are also available to book separately with an à la carte minimum spend, if you would rather claim a spot by the water than sit at a table all afternoon.

Who Are Switch Disco?

Switch Disco are billed by the organisers as Ibiza favourites, and their reputation comes from turning disco and house into big, feel-good dance floor moments. Their track REACT, featuring Ella Henderson, is the one highlighted on the event listing, and it gives you a good idea of what to expect: warm vocals, a strong groove and a chorus that a crowd can sing back.

The phrase the organisers use is that they bring their “signature sound” to the poolside at sunset. In practice, that means a set designed for an open-air crowd that has been relaxing all afternoon and is now ready to move.

Because this is the launch of a monthly residency, the first night carries a little extra energy. Residencies give regulars a reason to return, and the opening edition is usually when the crowd works out whether this will become a fixture on their calendar.

What to Expect on the Day

Think of the day as a gentle climb. At noon the brunch opens and the NS Boulevard DJs ease everyone in. By mid-afternoon tables are livelier and the music has picked up. After a short changeover the Sunset Drunch starts at 5pm, and from then until 8pm the focus shifts firmly to Switch Disco and the dance floor by the pool.

Your ticket package decides what is included, so it is worth reading it closely before you book. Food and drinks that are not listed in your chosen package, extra purchases and any services not named in the inclusions are not covered. If you want both the brunch and the sunset set, check which combination of sessions you are booking.

Tickets are for guests aged 21 and over, and you should bring your booking confirmation plus identification in case the venue asks for it at the door.

The Venue: Bla Bla Beach Club, JBR

Bla Bla by McGettigan’s sits on The Beach at Jumeirah Beach Residence, at 5101 Messer Street. It is one of the busiest stretches of the Dubai coastline, so you are surrounded by cafés, shops and the sea, which makes it easy to arrive early or carry on the evening afterwards.

Getting there is straightforward. By tram, take the Dubai Tram to Jumeirah Beach Residence 1 or Jumeirah Beach Residence 2, walk towards The Beach at JBR and follow the signs to Bla Bla. By taxi, ask to be dropped at Bla Bla Beach Club at The Beach, JBR. If you are driving, head for The Beach at JBR and follow the signs to the parking facilities, keeping in mind that availability on a busy Saturday can vary. As unlimited drinks are part of the day, the tram or a taxi is the sensible choice.

Who It Is For and Visitor Tips

This is a strong pick for groups of friends, birthday crews and anyone who likes their brunch to end with a proper DJ set rather than a quiet coffee. It also suits fans of feel-good house and disco who would normally have to wait for a summer in Ibiza to see this kind of set by a pool.

• Pick your session carefully. Brunch and Sunset Drunch are separate packages with different inclusions and hours.
• Book with certainty. Tickets cannot be cancelled or changed once booked, so confirm your plans and your group before you pay.
• Bring ID. The event is 21+, and the venue may ask to see identification along with your booking confirmation.
• Want a lounger? Sun loungers are available separately, so arrange one in advance if lying by the water matters to you.
• Leave the car. Use the Dubai Tram stops at JBR 1 or JBR 2, or a taxi to The Beach.
