DXBeach is back for a brand new season, announcing two 15-hour music festivals at its postcard-perfect home of Zero Gravity on Friday October 21 and Friday November 18.

The now-established and much-anticipated event has consistently seen crowds flock to Dubai’s most-talked-about entertainment venue since its birth in April 2015, with more than 6,000 revellers attending the last DXBeach in April 2016, which was headlined by Tieto.

With the UAE summer heat on a steady decline to idyllic beach party weather… October 21 is a date to lock down right now. This huge DXBeach line-up is led by superstar DJ Fatboy Slim, and will also see global giants MK and Benny Benassi take over the state-of-the-art stage on the sand, alongside what is set to be a mesmerising DJ set from Zero 7, as day blends into night.

Undisputed king of the beach party – thanks to his mega successfful Big Beach Boutique events attracting hundreds of thousands of people to the seafront of his hometown of Brighton, England – Faatboy Slim has been a DJ enjoying world domination for decades. Also known as Norman Cook, he is currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut album, ‘Better Living Through Chemistry’, which will be re-issued on September 23, along with rare, unreleased material.

At the age of 53, the British ‘big beat’ dance legend is worshipped for his own patented brand of party acid house, plus mega tunes including Right Here, Right Now and Praise You, and prides himself on giving fans not just great music, but a complex audio-visual production – now more than evver. ‘I’m technically a video jockey. We write scripts for all the tunes, we make films and we push new limits, he describes. It’s a show. It’s my job. I love doing it. And with every Fatboy show a unique experience, the Dubai crowd can prepare to be wowed.

Revered DJ/producer MK (Marc Kinchen) has roots that are pure Detroit– but a career that’s seen him seamlessly transform house, techno, hip-hop, R’n’B and pop music. Since garnering worldwide respect with his remix of Nightcrawlers Push The Feeling On in 1995, MK has become the go-to guy for a killer club mix, with versions of Wankelmut’s ˜My Head Is A Jungle and Lana Del Ray’s ˜Blue Jeans and ‘Summertime Sadness keeping him firmly in the spotlight for 2016.

From gaining overnight acclaim with his smash hit, and head-turning music video, Satisfaction in 2003, Benny Benassi is an Italian DJ who has done nothing but skyrocket to stardom in the past decade. Working with chart-storming artists including Kelis, John Legend, Chris Brown and Skrillex, Benny’s talents are behind the huge success of tracks including Beautiful People (with Chris Brown) and Cinema (with Gary Go), and make him a man guaranteed to bring the party.

Zero Gravity’s awe-inspiring beach-side location – compllete with a 2,000sq/m pool expansion that takes the venue into a unrivalled UAE domain – couldn’t be more suited to Zero 77. With ultimate chillout tracks including Destiny and In The Waiting Lineâ in his repertoire, Zero 7’s Sam Hardaker will provide the soundtrack to sunset – guarannteed to be a pivotal moment for this DXBeach.
