Pacha ICONS 2026: Keinemusik, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and Solomun Set to Take Over Dubai

The legendary spirit of Ibiza is returning to the Arabian Peninsula with renewed vigor. Pacha ICONS, the premier event series from the iconic Pacha Group and FIVE Luxe JBR, has officially unveiled its blockbuster lineup for the first quarter of 2026, headlined by a historic desert debut from the Keinemusik collective. As Dubai continues to cement its status as a global epicenter for electronic music, Pacha ICONS is scaling up its production to match. The 2026 season promises a mix of beachfront elegance at Playa Pacha and massive, open-air spectacles that push the boundaries of traditional nightlife. The Crown Jewel: Keinemusik’s Desert Debut The most anticipated date of the season is undoubtedly Saturday, March 28, 2026. For the first time ever, the full Keinemusik trio—&ME, Rampa, and Adam Port—will perform a one-off, large-scale show in the heart of the UAE desert. Departing from the series’ home at FIVE LUXE, the event will take over the Bab Al Shams Arena. This vast open-air venue will be reimagined with immersive lighting, high-impact visuals, and a custom-built stage designed to amplify the trio’s signature melodic and Afro-house sound. Following their landmark performance at the Pyramids of Giza in 2025, this desert showcase is expected to be a career-defining moment for the collective in the Middle East. A Heavyweight Roster at Playa Pacha Before heading to the dunes, Pacha ICONS will dominate the shoreline at Playa Pacha, FIVE LUXE JBR. The season kicks off with a massive double-header: January 23 & 24: Australian sensations RÜFÜS DU SOL will deliver back-to-back DJ sets. They will be joined by multidisciplinary trio Avangart Tabldot (Jan 23) and Copenhagen’s Tripolism (Jan 24). January 31: The “King of House,” Solomun, returns for a headline performance, bringing the deep, emotive energy that has made his Ibiza residencies legendary. February 13: Marco Carola brings his world-renowned Music On brand to Dubai for a high-octane b2b session with Franky Rizardo, supported by East End Dubs and Max Dean. April 10: Following a breakout year, Mau P teams up with Seth Troxler for the Dubai debut of his “Baddest Behaviour” party. Expanding the Empire The 2026 season comes on the heels of a major financial milestone for FIVE Holdings, the owners of the Pacha Group. The company recently secured a $460 million credit facility intended to fuel its global expansion. With plans to invest over $500 million into entertainment-focused hospitality across the US, Asia, and the UAE, Pacha ICONS is clearly the vanguard of a new era in “experiential hospitality.” By blending luxury gastronomy, world-class hotel stays, and elite electronic music programming, Pacha Group is no longer just a nightclub brand—it is a global lifestyle movement. Tickets for Pacha ICONS 2026 are now available. Given the high demand for Keinemusik’s desert debut and RÜFÜS DU SOL’s return, fans are encouraged to book early via the official Pacha ICONS website.
