8. Dance the night away with Solomun

For Solomun, music isn’t just about the beats—it’s about feeling something. His sets aren’t just performances, they’re stories told through sound, packed with emotion, energy, and unforgettable moments.

His iconic Solomun +1 residency at Pacha Ibiza changed the game, blurring the line between DJ and crowd and turning every night into a shared experience. From the deep vibes of Nobody Is Not Loved to the global sounds of his Diynamic Music label, one thing’s always clear—Solomun lets the music lead.

And now, for one night only, he’s taking over Pacha Icons. Every track? A vibe. Every moment? One to remember. Don’t miss it.

Where? Five Luxe JBR

When? Friday, May 2

3. Dubai’s latest pizza joint is here, and it’s hidden inside a library

There’s only two ways to keep people quiet in a library: shush them (booo) or stuff ’em with pizza! (yaayy!)

So glad that Al Safa Art and Design Library chose the latter with their cool new pizza joint, which is (not so) hidden inside! Forma is a new homegrown venture and it’s perfect for a quick bite after a good book, or maybe make it a nerdy lil night out!

Where? Al Safa Art & Design Library, Al Wasl Rd, Jumeirah 3, Dubai
