Skepta, the London rapper and producer who helped take grime from pirate radio to the world's biggest stages, is booked for a night at Be Beach Dubai on Friday 13 November. The listing on Platinumlist, the ticket seller, puts the start at 10pm, with tickets from Dh100.
Be Beach sits at Dubai Harbour, between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, and the night is billed as a beach party rather than an arena concert. The listing names DJs Fabrice and Djammin and a set by Rolbac in support, though the line-up section and the description do not fully agree, so expect the support acts to be confirmed nearer the date.
Skepta, born Joseph Junior Adenuga, won the Mercury Prize in 2016 with his album Konnichiwa. He has since worked across rap, house and fashion, and in recent years has played DJ sets alongside his own songs. Dubai is a regular stop for UK rap and dance acts in the cooler months, and this is one of several big beach and club bookings across the city on the same weekend.
The venue's rules are worth reading before you buy. Entry is for guests aged 21 and over. The listing asks guests to arrive as a couple, as a mixed group or as ladies, and the dress code is beach chic, with flip-flops not allowed. Outside food and drink are not permitted, smoking is allowed, and ticket sales are final and non-refundable.
Getting there takes some planning. Parking at Dubai Harbour is limited, and the listing suggests a taxi or ride-hailing app instead of driving. The nearest Metro station, Nakheel Harbour and Tower, is about 5km away, so a car is still needed for the last part of the trip.
If you want to go, book on Platinumlist, where tickets start at Dh100; the starting price can rise as cheaper tiers sell out. Bring photo ID that shows your age, arrive in the right dress, and keep in mind that the night runs late, past midnight into Saturday. Further tiers and table bookings are handled through the venue's reservations line shown on the listing.
