Dubai’s music scene is getting a thrilling, culturally rich injection this weekend. Amp and Vinyl Souk are teaming up for the first time to launch ALT.DUBAI Sunset Sessions, a new live series dedicated to spotlighting boundary-pushing talent from the region and beyond. Set for Saturday, November 29th, at the spectacular Helipad by Frozen Cherry atop Dubai Festival City, this event promises to be a truly vibrant convergence of cultures, rhythm, and the city’s breathtaking skyline.
The highlight of the debut session is the first-ever UAE performance by Kazdoura, the dynamic Syrian-Lebanese duo flying in from Toronto. The duo is quickly grabbing global attention with their fresh, hypnotic sound that blends Arabic fusion, psychedelia, and Maqam-influenced grooves. With over one million streams and recent international awards, their set is a highly anticipated moment for fans of alternative Middle Eastern music. The timing is perfect, as their new single, “and then?”, drops just before the show.
The curated line-up extends across a diverse sonic spectrum:
- Shilpa Ananth and Beatbox Ray: Blending sultry South-Asian soul with alt-electronic textures, performing live ahead of Shilpa’s upcoming release.
- Dirty Backseat (Egypt): Bringing his signature synth-pop, disco, and electro energy for a high-voltage finale perfectly suited for the Dubai skyline.
This careful selection of regional talent flying in from Canada, Egypt, and India is a feat in itself, offering Dubai a never-before-seen convergence of music and cultural expression.
The venue, Helipad by Frozen Cherry, provides the ultimate aspirational backdrop for this new live series. Doors open at 4 PM, allowing guests to transition from the sunny afternoon into an electrifying night as the sun dips behind the towering city skyline.
ALT.DUBAI is filling a niche for the music enthusiast who seeks more than just a typical club night—they want an immersive experience that blends a sophisticated atmosphere with raw, honest artistry. This inaugural Sunset Session transforms the helipad into a dynamic cultural hub where music discovery and creative connection thrive. Attendees (21+ only) are invited to step into the sound, soak up the atmosphere, and experience a genuinely unique, trendy take on Dubai’s live music scene.
