Marco Carola to Lead Four-Night Techno Spectacle in Dubai

Italian DJ, producer, and label boss Marco Carola is bringing his Music On nightlife experience to Dubai’s open-air Pacha ICONS stage at FIVE LUXE JBR.

Marco Carola is headed back to Dubai and he’s bringing his nightlife experience, Music On, with him. The global techno ambassador will return to Pacha ICONS, an open-air stage at FIVE LUXE JBR, for a four-date residency that stretches from late 2025 into spring 2026.

Fans can catch the legendary selector on November 21 with Gordo and Frank Storm; on December 12 alongside Dennis Cruz, Mason Collective, and Calvin Clarke; and on February 13 for a standout back-to-back set with Max Dean, East End Dubs, and Ale De Tuglie. Supporting acts for the April 17 finale are still in the works. Each night promises Carola’s signature techno finesse while spotlighting the craft of other respected artists worldwide.

For anyone who’s followed Carola’s journey, Music On has become more than a party. It’s a musical philosophy for the Italian artist: marathon sets, community devotion, and a sound system that feels just as alive at sunrise as it does at midnight. From Ibiza to South America to massive global tours, Carola has built a brand that thrives on connection, groove, and endurance. Bringing that spirit to Dubai signals a new chapter not just for Music On, but for the city’s fast-expanding electronic scene.

And few venues could match that energy better than Pacha ICONS. The open-air playground has quickly become one of the region’s most exciting venues, pairing Ibiza-level production with a beachfront setting made for escapism. The tree pools, a massive LED backdrop, and immersive atmosphere have already made it a landing spot for some of the biggest names of the year, including Black Coffee, Solomun, Mochakk, BLOND:ISH, Rampa, and CamelPhat.

As Pacha ICONS continues to cement itself as a cultural hub in Dubai, Music On stands poised to deliver another round of unforgettable nights under the open sky. With four dates and a venue primed for party magic, this mini residency is shaping up to be a defining highlight for Dubai’s dance music scene.
