DENNIS FERRER & ARMAND VAN HELDEN TAKE OVER AIN DUBAI THIS JANUARY
The iconic club turns 35 this year and kicks off its global tour in Dubai.
Ministry of Sound is set to stage a massive open-air show at Ain Dubai on Saturday 31st January, marking the first stop on its global 35th anniversary tour.
The event kicks off a 35-city run celebrating three and a half decades of Ministry of Sound’s influence on electronic music and club culture. Dubai opens the tour ahead of dates across the Middle East and beyond in 2026.
The lineup is huge, leaning heavily into both the history and future of house music. New York house mainstay Dennis Ferrer tops the bill alongside fellow US icon Armand Van Helden. Italian producer DJ Tennis and fast-rising selector HoneyLuv add a contemporary edge to the bill.
South African artists Caiiro, Da Cap and Enoo Napa join forces for a rare B3B set, while Brazilian DJ Aline Rocha, and Dubai-based duo Arcade 82, complete a lineup that blends global names with regional talent.

Running non-stop for 12 hours, the Ain Dubai show positions itself as a full-day festival rather than a standard club night, transforming the base of the world’s tallest observation wheel into a full-on dance floor.
Founded in South London in 1991, Ministry of Sound has played a central role in shaping modern club culture, known for its emphasis on sound system design and its long-running compilation series. Over the years, the brand has grown into a global force, selling tens of millions of records and hosting hundreds of thousands of clubbers annually.
Tickets for the Ain Dubai event start from AED 156 for early entry, with Dubai leading a wider regional tour that will also take in Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
