Opened late 2024, Ushuaïa Dubai introduced the spirit of its Ibiza club to the Middle East at a new open-air venue location in Dubai Harbour. The venue launched with a headline performance from Calvin Harris and quickly established itself as a premier nightlife destination, hosting a stream of globally recognised artists.
Supporting an L-Acoustics sound system and DiGiCo mixing, the venue’s audio infrastructure is based on 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,’ says SLS Production Associate Technical Director, Praveen Jayakumar.
A significant quantity of Van Damme Black Series Tour Grade Multicore loudspeaker cable and Van Damme VDM PA-Cons has been deployed to ensure 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 sound quality.
As the Winter 2025 season begins, anticipation is building for Calvin Harris’s return in November, alongside a packed calendar of high-profile names and underground talent.
With a mix of standing and seated areas, VIP zones and luxury cabanas, Ushuaïa Dubai combines world-class production with its signature atmosphere. ‘A venue of this scale and prestige demands absolute clarity from every component,’ Jayakumar says. ‘Van Damme has given us the confidence that every performance will meet the highest standards.’
