Pacha ICONS is set for a rapturous return to Playa Pacha, FIVE LUXE on October 17th, an event led by titan Carl Cox. The British club and radio DJ and producer will steer the opening night at Dubai’s beachfront venue Playa Pacha. A multi-genre, open-air music feast, it flies the superstar flag, hosting some of the world’s greatest talent in electronic and dance.
A father, a foundational figure in the progression of house and techno, Carl Cox’s electrifying sets are perfect for the occasion. Authentic, rooted deep in club culture, Cox’s style is renowned for its undeniable energy.
Set against the hotel’s pioneering architecture, the distinct design, three pools, a beach and one of the largest LED screens, with dynamic visuals to complement the music, lifting the mood to new heights.
The return of the Pacha ICONS season and Carl Cox’s performance supremely match what’s been an astonishing year. With appearances stretching far and wide, a stellar lineup that has included Solomun, Black Coffee, Mochakk, Marco Carola, Rampa, CamelPhat, Gerd Janson, Rampa, ANOTR and more.
The Ibiza-inspired pool and private beach club party Playa Pacha at FIVE LUXE is the blistering experience of The Pacha Group. In the vicinity of Arabian Gulf, Ain Dubai and the Palm Jumeirah, the destination offers a blend of entertainment and Ibiza-style ambiance.
Supported by FIVE LUXE’s LEED platinum ecosystem, the World’s Highest Sustainability Rated 5-Star Hotel is powered by 100% solar electricity. It’s a venue like no other. And that’s just the beginning. Following Carl Cox’s opening, the Pacha ICONS 2025/26 season will continue to feature a world class lineup week after week, bringing the energy of Ibiza straight to Dubai’s shores.
Highlights include BLOND:ISH on 24 October, PAWSA, Fabrice, and DiOSA on 7 November, and a special Pure Pacha takeover on 14 November featuring HUGEL, Sam Oui, and Emir. The schedule continues with Marco Carola on 21 November, WhoMadeWho — The Moment on 28 November, and Peggy Gou on 6 December,
followed by another Music On Marco Carola on 12 December. And this is just the start — the Pacha ICONS season will run through into 2026, delivering an ongoing programme of international talent and unforgettable nights.
