BLACK COFFEE TO OPEN USHUAÏA DUBAI HARBOUR EXPERIENCE SEASON 3
The GRAMMY-winning Afro house pioneer returns to Dubai Harbour on October 24, launching the venue’s third season following two sold-out headline appearances
Black Coffee is returning to Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience, with the South African artist confirmed to officially open Season 3 on Saturday, October 24.
The show marks Black Coffee’s third headline appearance at the open-air Dubai venue, following sold-out events in both 2024 and 2025. This time, he’ll take charge of the season opener, with a new visual production accompanying his signature blend of house, soul and African percussion.
The full supporting line-up is yet to be announced, with tickets and VIP tables already on sale.
One of the artists at the forefront of Afro house’s global rise, Black Coffee has spent decades developing a sound that combines deep and soulful house with alternative African rhythms.
His career reached another milestone in 2022 when he became the first South African artist to win a GRAMMY Award, taking home Best Dance/Electronic Album.
More recently, in May 2026, Black Coffee became the first DJ from Africa to sell out London's 20,000-capacity O2 Arena, delivering a symphonic-inspired performance featuring a special guest appearance from Alicia Keys.
His international presence also continues through his long-running Hï Ibiza residency, while collaborations throughout his career have included artists such as Drake, Alicia Keys, Pharrell Williams, Usher and David Guetta.
Black Coffee's previous Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience appearances have attracted crowds of more than 15,000, with another high-demand show expected for his return.
For the October date, fans can expect an all-new visual production, combining the venue's large-scale staging, lighting and immersive visuals with Black Coffee's music.
The performance will be the first of several events planned for Season 3, with further artist and event announcements expected over the coming months.
Since opening in 2024, Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience has welcomed more than 200,000 attendees, establishing an Ibiza-inspired open-air electronic music format against the Dubai skyline.
The venue combines large-scale sound, lighting, visuals and staging, with bespoke productions created by the High Scream team.
Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience is a joint venture between The Night League, the company behind Ushuaïa Ibiza, Hï Ibiza and [UNVRS], and Studio A by Addmind Hospitality, the Dubai-based team behind concepts including White Club and Iris.
Black Coffee will open Season 3 at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
Tickets and VIP tables are on sale now via Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience, with the full line-up still to be announced.
