Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, Marco Carola and more lead a blockbuster Pacha ICONS season at Playa Pacha, Dubai
After an unforgettable run of headline moments this year, Pacha ICONS is back at Playa Pacha, FIVE LUXE JBR, and it’s about to dominate Dubai’s beachfront from October through December 2025 with a heavyweight season of house and techno royalty.
Think Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, Marco Carola, BLOND:ISH, PAWSA and HUGEL, each bringing their signature energy to the region’s most talked-about new open-air venue.
It all kicks off 17 October, when Carl Cox makes his long-awaited return to Dubai. Expect a masterclass in groove and power from the techno titan himself, a DJ who can flip from acid-laced rollers to soulful, sun-drenched house with effortless precision. Sharing the bill are Philipp Straub and Fabrice, setting the tone for what’s shaping up to be a historic season.
One week later, BLOND:ISH steps in on 24 October, fresh from her groundbreaking Abracadabra residency at Pacha Ibiza, a milestone that made her the club’s first-ever female headline resident. Now she brings her kaleidoscopic sound and feel-good energy to Dubai’s shores for an edition of Happy Happy World that’s bound to shimmer from start to finish.
The rhythm keeps rolling into November, as UK innovator PAWSA lands on 7 November with his trademark blend of low-slung grooves and playful energy, joined by Fabrice and DiOSA.
From there, Marco Carola returns to command the decks on 21 November and 12 December, bringing the unmistakable Music On vibe, deep, hypnotic and impossible to stand still to. And between those dates, WhoMadeWho transform the venue on 28 November with their immersive concept The Movement, before Peggy Gou rounds out the season on 6 December, delivering her signature fusion of disco, house and effortless cool.
Tucked within the sleek lines of FIVE LUXE JBR, Playa Pacha has quickly evolved into a world-class destination, part beach club, part open-air arena, all Ibiza soul. With three glistening pools, panoramic ocean views and one of the largest LED screens in the region, it’s a sensory playground designed for pure escapism.
Already this year, the venue has hosted unforgettable sets from Black Coffee, Solomun, Rampa, Mochakk, and CamelPhat — and the ICONS season looks set to raise the bar even higher.
With more than five decades of dancefloor legacy behind the name, Pacha continues to rewrite what nightlife means — this time under the Dubai skyline, where the world’s biggest names meet the city’s electric pulse.
