Gig reminder: ANTS will take over Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience this weekend
The ANTS march is on…
Dubai's nightlife is no stranger to big names, but this one hits different. ANTS, the underground powerhouse from Ibiza, is making its debut at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience this Saturday, April 12, and if you know ANTS, you already know what's coming – deep, underground sound and techno, insane production, and a crowd that's here purely for the music. Here's why you can't miss ANTS at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience this weekend.
The lineup
ANTS have announced a lineup of international guests and Ibiza regulars for their takeover of Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience this Saturday. Known for leading the charge in playing house and techno in Ibiza over the last 12 years, ANTS will now bring Marco Carola, Cloonee, Andrea Oliva, and Calussa to join The colony in Dubai.
Straight from Ibiza's underground
What started as a party for Ibiza's in-the-know crowd has grown into a full-blown global music movement, bringing its serious sound to some of the world's biggest stages – Printworks, Zamna, Creamfields – and now, Dubai's own waterfront playground. ANTS, at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience, expect mind-blowing visuals, pounding basslines, electronic music in an open-air setting that'll make every drop hit harder, and an atmosphere designed for those who live and breathe house and techno.
A new era for Dubai's party scene
Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience has already made waves, pulling in over 60,000 people since launching last October. But this? This is different. At an ANTS takeover, the music is just the beginning. The production is next level – massive stage builds, insane visuals, and, yes, towering ant structures. Pair that with Ushuaïa's signature open-air setup, stunning views of Dubai Harbour, and a crowd that comes for the music – not the small talk.
Be there or hear about it later
Since launching last year, Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience has been delivering some of the best nights out in the city, with presale tickets flying out in record time.
Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience, Dubai Marina, 6pm, Saturday, April 12, tickets priced at Dhs250. Tel: (0)58 888 8756. Sign up for first access to tickets and VIP tables at ushuaiadubai.com
