Basement Jaxx to headline Dubai brunch in October

Dubai’s favourite party Wanderlust Brunch is back and bolder than ever with a festival feel and a line-up of international DJ acts.

The first act to headline the event are the aptly named electronic music group, Basement Jaxx.

The Brit award-winning artists will be playing all their hits including Red Alert, Do Your Thing and Good Luck.

Starting at 1pm, the brunch will run until 4pm, when the after party will start. Local DJs will warm up throughout the day, before the Where’s Your Head At? DJ duo Basement Jaxx play their DJ set during the after-party.

Holding up to 2,000 people, the car park venue that sits beneath the world’s tallest five-star hotel has received a custom fit-out.

Basement Jaxx hail from London, England, and consists of Felix Buton and Simon Ratcliffe. The pair went from playing at Brixton club nights to world-famous music festivals around the world, including the prestigious Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival. The group have won two BRIT Awards for Best Dance Act, and had top ten hits in the UK.

Wanderlust Brunch will also host musical events on 12 November and 26 November. Details of the future acts have not yet been announced, but we are expecting more big-name DJs.

The regular Wanderlust brunch will continue as normal on the 5th floor, aside from these dates where the special event will be held Underground.

The brunch cost Dhs695 and includes premium drinks and access to the after-party. Those planning to attend all three special festival editions of Wanderlust Brunch (happening on Saturday October 29, Saturday November 12 and Saturday November 26) can purchase a season pass for Dhs1,499.
