DJ Tiësto set to light up Be Beach Dubai
Alex Twin and Djad confirmed as supporting acts for the beachfront show
DUBAI’s beachfront nightlife calendar is set for a major highlight as global electronic music superstar Tiësto prepares to perform at Be Beach Dubai this month.
The Dutch DJ will take to the decks on Thursday, January 22, bringing his internationally celebrated sound to an intimate harbour-side setting. The show marks his return to the emirate following his headline appearance at UNTOLD Dubai 2024, one of the city’s biggest music festivals of the year.
Be Beach Dubai, located at Dubai Harbour, will host the one-night event, promising a combination of high-energy dance music, large-scale production and a waterfront atmosphere designed to deliver a premium clubbing experience. Doors open at 7pm, with tickets available from Dh350, positioning the night as one of the most anticipated EDM gatherings of the winter season.
Harbour venue
The January 22 performance sees Tiësto swapping the massive festival stage of UNTOLD Dubai for a more intimate yet high-impact setting at Be Beach Dubai. The venue has built a reputation for hosting top international DJs against the backdrop of the Arabian Gulf, offering club-style production alongside open-air coastal views. The harbour-side location allows fans to experience one of dance music’s most recognisable figures in a closer, more immersive environment.
Organisers describe the night as a showcase of powerful melodies, euphoric builds and modern club sounds, all delivered with world-class lighting and audio production. The setting is expected to blend the energy of a major headline show with the atmosphere of a luxury beachfront club, giving Dubai party-goers a rare chance to see Tiësto outside a festival format.
Tiësto in Dubai
Tiësto is widely regarded as one of the most influential DJs in the history of electronic dance music. A pioneer of modern EDM, he has spent decades shaping the global club and festival scene with a sound that moves between uplifting anthems and cutting-edge club tracks. His catalogue includes internationally recognised hits such as Drifting, The Motto, Lay Low and Red Lights, which have helped him remain a constant presence on dance charts and streaming platforms worldwide.
Over the years, Tiësto has collaborated with a broad range of high-profile artists, including Tate McRae, Charli XCX and Dimitri Vegas, further cementing his status as a crossover figure between mainstream pop and underground club culture. His Dubai Harbour appearance is expected to draw fans from across the UAE and beyond, following the strong response to his UNTOLD Dubai performance in 2024.
Supporting acts
The January 22 show will be supported by Alex Twin and Djad, who are set to warm up the crowd and build momentum throughout the evening. Both DJs are known for delivering energetic sets designed to prepare the dancefloor for headline acts, ensuring the night runs from early evening through to late with a consistent flow of electronic and club-driven music.
With doors opening at 19:00, attendees can expect a full programme of performances leading into Tiësto’s headline set, making it a complete nightlife experience rather than a short showcase. Ticket bookings are currently open, with additional information available via the venue’s contact line at +971 54 751 1119.
The Be Beach Dubai event arrives as part of a busy season for the city’s live music and DJ circuit. Alongside Tiësto’s harbour-side show, Dubai’s 2026 calendar also includes upcoming international acts such as Keinemusik in March, the Elrow Festival in April 2026 for house and techno fans, and Josh Groban in March 2026, reflecting the wide range of performances lined up across the emirate.
