Pacha ICONS Returns to Dubai in October 2025 with DJs Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, and more set to make an appearance.

Pacha ICONS returns to Playa Pacha, FIVE LUXE JBR this October with a lineup that brings Dubai back into the global spotlight. As anticipation builds for Pacha ICONS Dubai 2025, the season starts on October 17 with Carl Cox, followed by BLOND:ISH, PAWSA, HUGEL, Marco Carola, and Peggy Gou through December. Set on the beachfront of JBR, the series reflects the original Pacha Ibiza experience while giving it a distinct Dubai character, combining open-air design with a focus on quality sound and production.

Pure Pacha Makes Its Dubai Debut

Pure Pacha, one of Pacha Ibiza’s most established club nights, is coming to Dubai for the first time at Playa Pacha, FIVE LUXE JBR. The concept has been part of Ibiza’s nightlife for years, known for bringing a lighter mix of house and disco together under the same roof. Its move to Dubai marks the next step in expanding Pacha’s international presence while keeping the same creative direction and sound that shaped its reputation on the island.

Running alongside Pacha ICONS, the addition of Pure Pacha gives the venue a more diverse weekend program. Where ICONS focuses on artists like Carl Cox and Marco Carola, Pure Pacha leans toward an accessible, weekend-friendly style led by names such as HUGEL. It’s a balance between the underground and the mainstream, positioning Playa Pacha as a new focal point for house music in the region.

Inside Playa Pacha

Located at FIVE LUXE JBR, Playa Pacha has quickly become one of Dubai’s most talked-about beachfront venues. The space combines a luxury hotel setting with a purpose-built outdoor stage designed for large-scale electronic events. It features three pools, a private beach, and an LED screen that stretches across the main area, used to mirror visuals with the music throughout each performance.

The venue’s layout follows the same approach as Pacha Ibiza, where open-air design and proximity to the water are central to the experience. Events often run from sunset into late evening, with international and regional DJs sharing the same stage. Situated in the heart of JBR, Playa Pacha connects Dubai’s nightlife with a more global identity, bringing together visitors, residents, and touring artists within one destination.

Dates and Lineup Highlights

The 2025 season opens on October 17 with Carl Cox, joined by Philipp Straub and Fabrice. The following week, on October 24, BLOND:ISH takes over the decks after her standout summer as the first female headline resident at Pacha Ibiza. PAWSA follows on November 7 with support from Fabrice and DiOSA, bringing his stripped-back house sound to the beachfront stage.

On November 14, Pure Pacha takes center stage with HUGEL, Sam Oui, and Emir, before Marco Carola returns for two Music On showcases on November 21 and December 12. The lineup also includes WhoMadeWho presenting The Moment on November 28, and Peggy Gou, who closes the season on December 6 with her mix of house and disco selections.

With Pacha ICONS and Pure Pacha now shaping weekends at Playa Pacha, Dubai steps further into the global club circuit. The series links the city’s nightlife with the original Pacha Ibiza legacy, combining international talent, strong production, and a clear sense of identity. As the season unfolds from October to December, Playa Pacha continues to set a new standard for beachside events in the region.
