CHASE & STATUS CONFIRMED TO HEADLINE EMIRATES DUBAI 7S THIS NOVEMBER

Emirates Dubai 7s has announced Chase & Status as its final-day headliners, completing the music line-up for this year's festival at The Sevens Stadium from November 27 to 29.

The British drum and bass duo will take over the Frequency on 8 stage on Sunday, November 29, bringing their high-energy sound to Dubai for the festival's closing night.

They join previously announced headliner Akon, who performs on Saturday, November 28, alongside Melanie C and Jax Jones, who will deliver DJ sets across the weekend.

Chase & Status have spent nearly two decades establishing themselves as one of the biggest names in British electronic music, combining drum and bass, jungle and bass-heavy production with collaborations across multiple genres.

Since releasing their debut album in 2008, the duo have built an international following, with more than two billion streams worldwide.

In 2024, they secured their first BRIT Award for Producer of the Year, alongside their first UK number-one single, 'Backbone', featuring Stormzy.

The duo also released their latest album, 'Generic Everything', in October 2026, continuing a run of releases that have kept them at the forefront of the global drum and bass scene.

Their upcoming Emirates Dubai 7s performance follows FISHER's closing headline set at the 2025 edition, with Chase & Status taking over the same Frequency on 8 stage for this year's finale.

Alongside Chase & Status, Emirates Dubai 7s has confirmed a mix of international artists performing across the festival weekend.

R&B superstar Akon will headline the Frequency on 8 stage on Saturday, November 28, bringing his catalogue of global hits to Dubai.

Meanwhile, Beats on 2 will host DJ sets from Melanie C on Saturday, November 28, and British DJ and producer Jax Jones on Sunday, November 29.

The two performances will bring a different side of the festival's electronic music programme to the venue, with dedicated DJ and bar areas running alongside the sporting action.

Taking place from November 27 to 29, Emirates Dubai 7s combines international rugby sevens with live music, entertainment and sporting competitions across multiple disciplines.

The festival has become one of the region's biggest annual sports and entertainment events, attracting more than 88,000 attendees from over 128 countries.

This year's edition will also open the 2027 HSBC SVNS Series, bringing international rugby teams to Dubai alongside amateur competitions, family activities and a full weekend of music.

With Chase & Status, Akon, Melanie C and Jax Jones now confirmed, the festival's entertainment programme brings together drum and bass, R&B and dance music across its two main music areas.
