According to information compiled by FEW.ae editor, global house music luminary Black Coffee will return to Dubai for a headline show at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience on Saturday, 27 December 2025, promising an electrifying blend of Afro-house rhythms, festival-level production and stunning city-skyline visuals.
Venue Insight: Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience
The Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience is the open-air, sunset-lit entertainment venue set along Dubai Marina’s Harbour precinct. It brings the famed Ibiza club brand’s aesthetic to the UAE: immersive lighting, luxury VIP areas, large-scale staging and high-end sound design.
Located at a unique spot within Dubai’s harbour area, the venue features expansive views across the water and skyline, offering an elevated nightlife setting above standard club environments. The event page lists the venue’s location as “34RH+G5 Dubai – United Arab Emirates”.
The venue’s operational notes indicate parking is limited, public transport is recommended, and an age-limit (21+) is enforced. Dress code policies emphasise style over beachwear or flip-flops.
Event Timing & Logistics
The show kicks off on Saturday, 27 December 2025, with doors opening at 18:00 (6:00 pm). Although the scheduled time is early-evening, the nature of the show suggests that Black Coffee’s set may fall later in the night, consistent with electronic-music event norms. A previous listing (for 28 December) flagged doors at 18:00 for an event featuring Black Coffee as headliner.
Regarding transportation, the venue advises guests to favour ride-hailing or public transport because of parking constraints. The official site also summarises: “By car: From the Financial Center Road, continue straight until you reach Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard and turn right. Follow the signs for Dubai Harbour and proceed to the parking area.” For public transit: the venue is reachable via the metro’s Red Line with the nearest station approximately five kilometres away (Nakheel Harbour & Tower Station).
Technically, the venue is described as “open-air” with immersive festival-style visuals, high-end sound and production values that reflect the Ibiza flagship’s format.
Weather‐wise for late December in Dubai, attendees can expect pleasant evening conditions — typically mid-twenties Celsius dropping to low twenties later at night. Given the outdoor nature of the venue, arriving early and dressing in layers for cooler night air is advisable.
Artist Profile & Production Notes
Black Coffee is a South-African DJ and producer who has been instrumental in globalising the Afro-house genre—blending soulful rhythms, African percussive elements, electronic textures and deep house aesthetics. His credentials include Grammy recognition and collaborations with artists such as Alicia Keys, Drake and David Guetta.
The December event marks his return to the Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour stage after a sold-out 2024 performance, reportedly drawing a crowd of over 15,000. For the 2025 show, organisers promise an “all-new visual production that will bring his music to life like never before”.
The event is promoted by The Night League (known for the Ibiza Ushuaïa brand) in collaboration with the venue’s logistics team, delivering a high-end nightlife spectacle tailored for Dubai’s premium party-goers.
Experience Snapshot
Guests arriving from Dubai will likely travel via car or ride-share; setting out early is wise to avoid traffic. The venue’s open-air setup offers dramatic sunset harbour views, which add a scenic prelude before the night ramps up. As darkness falls, expect a transformation: high-impact lighting, large-scale LED visuals, and a powerful sound system supporting Black Coffee’s immersive set.
Attendees should be mindful of the dress-code (stylish casual, avoid flip-flops), mobile tickets/digital ID verification, and the venue’s policies around recording/photography (often restricted to preserve production integrity) as noted in earlier event terms.
Given the nature of the event and Black Coffee’s global draw, ticket demand is high. Planning for hospitality (VIP tables), early arrival, and safe transport afterwards (especially late at night) will likely enhance the experience.
