Ushuaïa Dubai opened its doors in October 2024, bringing the spirit of Ibiza to the Middle East. The open-air venue at Dubai Harbour launched with a headline performance from Calvin Harris and quickly established itself as a premier nightlife destination, hosting a steady stream of global names.
The backbone of the venue’s demanding audio infrastructure is powered by Van Damme cabling, supplied by regional distributor NMK Electronics and installed by SLS Production. “Ushuaia Dubai is a high-profile project with complex technical requirements, so reliability and performance were critical. Van Damme Cabling ensured that the system would perform flawlessly under pressure,” said Praveen Jayakumar, Associate Technical Director at SLS Production.
A significant quantity of Van Damme Black Series Tour Grade Multicore Speaker Cable and Van Damme VDM PA-CONS has been deployed to ensure pristine signal integrity and total reliability across the vast 18,000-capacity site. The Black Series Tour Grade Multicore is designed to withstand the rigours of touring and large-scale productions, combining a rugged construction with excellent handling. Meanwhile, the VDM PA-CONS has become a go-to solution for audio professionals seeking robust connectivity and superior sound quality.
As the Winter 2025 season begins, anticipation is building for Calvin Harris’s return performance in November, alongside a packed calendar of international artists and underground talent.
With a mix of standing and seated areas, VIP zones and luxury cabanas, Ushuaïa Dubai continues to combine world-class production with the signature Ushuaïa party atmosphere. “A venue of this scale and prestige demands absolute clarity from every component,” added Jayakumar. “Van Damme has given us the confidence that every performance will meet the highest standards.”
