Fans of techno, mark your calendars. British DJ and global electronic music icon Carl Cox is heading to Dubai this October for a one-night-only set at Playa Pacha, the beachfront venue at FIVE LUXE, JBR. The event is set for Friday, October 17, and it promises to be a standout moment on the region’s music calendar.
Carl Cox is currently in the middle of a multi-country tour, with stops across Poland, the Netherlands, France, and the UK, and a major residency in Ibiza where he’ll be commanding Sunday nights from mid-June. Dubai marks his only Middle East appearance on this tour — and it’s a rare chance to catch a veteran of the scene do what he does best.

Known for his dynamic and genre-spanning sets, Carl Cox delivers everything from deep acid grooves to driving hard techno, all seamlessly blended with his signature energy behind the decks. Over the years, he’s racked up six Best International DJ Awards, seven Best Techno DJ Awards, and 35 consecutive nominations at DJ Awards since 1998 — a legacy that speaks for itself.
Hosted as part of the Pacha ICONS series, the Dubai date will spotlight not only Carl Cox’s return, but also the kind of expertly curated sound and production that techno fans know and respect.
Whether you’ve followed his sets from the underground clubs of the ‘90s or discovered him through massive festival stages, this is the Dubai gig worth clearing your schedule for.
