DJ Night: Diwali Celebration 2026

DJ Night: Diwali Celebration brings a late-night Diwali party to Dubai on Friday 6 November 2026, with DJ Deepika on the decks and a live performance from Madhura Balaji. The party takes place at The Canal Lounge on the fourth floor of the Grand Mercure in Business Bay, and it runs from 10pm onwards. If you want your Diwali weekend to end on the dance floor rather than the sofa, this is one to look at.

The organisers keep the promise simple: music, live performances and Diwali vibes from 10pm. Add music and dancing, plus what the listing calls special surprises, and you have the shape of the night.

About DJ Night: Diwali Celebration in Dubai

This is a nightlife event first and foremost. It is listed under Music and Nightlife on the ticket page, it starts at 10pm and it is strictly for guests aged 21 and over. So think of it as a proper night out to mark the festival, rather than a family celebration.

The format pairs two very different kinds of entertainment. A high-energy DJ set keeps the dance floor moving, and a live vocal performance gives the night a moment where everyone stops to listen. That mix is what sets this party apart from a standard club night, and it is built specifically around Diwali.

The event falls on a Friday, which helps. You can head out after work, take your time getting ready and not worry about an early alarm the next day.

The Line-Up: DJ Deepika and Madhura Balaji

DJ Deepika

DJ Deepika is the DJ for the night, and the listing describes her set as high-energy. Expect her to be the engine of the evening, keeping the dance floor busy from the 10pm start. The organisers have not shared a set list, so we will not guess at specific tracks, but the brief for the night is clear: music, dancing and Diwali spirit.

Madhura Balaji

Madhura Balaji brings the live element. The ticket page introduces her with the words Super Singer Fame, so fans who know her from that show will recognise the name. Her performance is billed as a live set within the night, which gives the party a focal point beyond the DJ booth. The exact time of her performance has not been published, so arriving close to the start is the safest way to make sure you catch it.

The Venue: The Canal Lounge, Grand Mercure

The Canal Lounge is on the fourth floor of the Grand Mercure in Business Bay, Dubai. That is the full address given by the organisers, so put Grand Mercure Business Bay into your maps app and head up to the fourth floor when you arrive.

Because the lounge is on the fourth floor of the Grand Mercure, allow a few extra minutes on arrival to make your way up. If you are planning to stay late, sort out your journey home in advance, as the calendar entry on the ticket page suggests the night runs until around 3am.

Know Before You Go

A few points from the official listing are worth checking before you buy:

• Entry is for guests aged 21 and over only. Bring valid ID.
• The night starts at 10pm and continues late into Saturday morning.
• Tickets are sold exclusively on Ticketsfy, so use the ticket link on this page rather than third-party resellers.
• The ticket page links to its own terms and conditions and refund policy. Read both before you book.
• No dress code is listed, so check with the organisers if you are unsure.

You may notice the event page lists the dates as 6 to 7 November. That is simply because the party carries on past midnight. It is one night only, starting on the Friday evening at 10pm.

The listing also mentions special surprises, without saying what they are. Part of the fun is finding out on the night.

Who It Is For

This party will suit adults who want to celebrate Diwali with music and dancing, groups of friends looking for a festive Friday out in Business Bay, and anyone who follows DJ Deepika or wants to hear Madhura Balaji live. With the 21-plus rule and the late start, it is a grown-up night rather than a family outing. If your group likes a party that mixes a DJ set with a live singer, the line-up here is a good fit, and the Friday date means nobody has to leave early for work.
