Dubai, clear your Friday night. Aquaventure After Dark is back on 9 October 2026. Neptune Tower, Poseidon Tower and Splashers Cove are all about to light up with music, night-time rides and special effects. Keep reading for all the brilliant details you need to know.
Meet Your Headliner – ALTÉGO
Say hello to UK twin DJ and production duo ALTÉGO, Michael and Lukas Fernandes Pense. They’re known for high-energy mashups that mix tracks you’ll instantly recognise from pop, R&B, hip-hop and dance, all made for the dancefloor. They’ll take over the Main Stage at Torrent Beach in the Neptune Tower area from 10:00pm to midnight.
Neptune Tower – The Main Stage
ALTÉGO won’t be alone on the Main Stage. Dubai-based Taya Kruzz will get things going with open-format sets spanning hip-hop, R&B and Afrobeats. Paris-born Keza follows with his signature mix of house, hip-hop and open-format sounds. This stage is the heart of the night, so expect large-scale lighting, LED screens, lasers, dramatic smoke jets and sparkling stage effects.
Poseidon Tower – House & EDM
If electronic is more your thing, head to Poseidon Tower. Award-winning British DJ and producer Tom Higham will bring melodic, Afro-inspired electronic sounds. He’s joined by Dubai-based house and electronic music producer Scott Forshaw, whose music has racked up more than 15 million global streams.
Splashers Cove – Fred’s Coffee Party
Fred’s Coffee Party, Dubai’s viral coffee gatherings, will also make its waterpark debut at Aquaventure After Dark. Splashers Cove will host a curated DJ set and house-led sounds in a more intimate, social setting, a good spot to hang out and chat.
