EVENTS THIS WEEK

Wow, there’s plenty going on in Abu Dhabi this week with Eid, Yasalam, Halloween and pre-F1 parties. To get the full rundown, make sure you log on!

Thursday 25th October

After a long summer hiatus, Allure re-opens this weekend, with DJs Soulninja and Trix spinning commercial and RnB tunes in the Main Room, and new resident DJ MirkoS playing deep and tech house on the Beats Terrace - a bit of something for everyone.

Special guest DJ at BIG RNB at Rush tonight is DJ GQ. Not only is GQ a phenomenal DJ, he is also known for his voice. While mixing, GQ rocks the mic bringing every performance to life. His music style is extremely versatile. Having been mixing for over 18 years, GQ's music knowledge and skill sets him apart from the rest - he's that open format DJ that tends to always play that song you haven't heard in years, then mix it with another song that is on a whole other music genre and make it sound so cool. Support from resident DJs Cliff Townley and Neil T.

If you're after a bit of culture and chill after a busy week, then the new Vine Down evening at Lemon & Lime (at the Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort & Spa) might be the ticket for you. Every Thursday, you can enjoy classic French wines at discount prices while listening to the soothing Jazz and soulful sounds from live performer, Jean Charles.

Eid celebrations kick off tonight at Sax Club with a special Layali night welcoming Khaled Hajjar from Lebanon and the percussionist Sultan Ghaith. Support by resident DJ Roland mixing a fusion of Arabic and the latest international hits.
