Following our weekend debut last year, we will return to Dubai from 9th – 10th November 2024. Sign up now on our new landing page.

In 2023, we brought an incredibly diverse line-up of house favourites to the United Arab Emirates for our first weekend-long takeover. The celebration was a major triumph as we invited music-lovers from across the globe to get lost in the music as one.

Building even further on last year’s sonic offerings, the second edition of Defected Dubai unites some of the world’s top house artists for one powerful weekend of music.

The GRAMMY award-nominated A-Trak will take to the stage, joined by the critically acclaimed DJ and producer Eats Everything, underground hitmaker Eliza Rose, French bucket hat maverick Folamour, the wildly celebrated UK duo Gorgon City and Parisian electronic heroes Oden & Fatzo.

Further eclectic mixers include Moxy Muzik’s Olive F, the London collective fronted by Tom Kerridge Girls of the Internet, and local Dubai talent Dul, as Defected residents and fan favourites Sam Divine, Low Steppa, Monki, and Rio Tashan round out this pack of electronic titans.

This year, we’re returning once again to Soul Beach at the Mina Jebel Ali port, offering the very best the marina has to offer.

At our beach party on Saturday 9th November, expect nothing but the most exceptional offering of house music brought to life by the venue’s top tier production and scenic views across the Persian gulf.

On Sunday 10th November, our pool party is the ultimate day-to-night affair. From sun-kissed beats to house favourites, the poolside is where you’ll want to be.

Defected Dubai will take place 9th – 10th November 2024. Sign up now at defecteddubai.com
