Black Coffee has two UAE dates this season. The South African DJ opens the third season of Ushuaia Dubai Harbour Experience on Saturday 24 October, The National reported, and returns on Sunday 6 December to close the three-night 16/360 programme at Yas Marina Circuit on Abu Dhabi Grand Prix race day.

The National notes that he recently became the first African DJ to sell out London's O2 Arena. Ushuaia describes him as one of the leading figures of Afro house, a Grammy winner whose sound mixes house with soul and African percussion, and who has worked with Alicia Keys, Drake, Pharrell Williams and David Guetta.

He already has history at the Dubai Harbour venue: his 2024 show there sold out and drew more than 15,000 people, according to Ushuaia. He has also completed seven seasons of his residency at Hi Ibiza.

The 16/360 programme at Yas Marina also features Shimza on 4 December and CamelPhat on 5 December. Saturday's Dubai date falls on the same night as UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi and Nancy Ajram at Coca-Cola Arena.
