Your Guide to Where to Party at Beatport Presents IMS Dubai 2025

Beatport Presents International Music Summit (IMS), Ibiza’s renowned electronic music conference, has unveiled the full nighttime program for its second MENA edition in Dubai, taking place at 25hours Hotel One Central on November 13th and 14th.

Following a sold-out debut in 2024, IMS Dubai returns this year with a citywide takeover running from November 12th to 16th, featuring five days of showcases, rooftop sessions, and beach blowouts across the city’s leading venues.

The nighttime program brings together a cross-section of global and regional artists, collectives, and party series for a run of unmissable showcases. Nicole Moudaber will set the tone on November 12th with a pre-party at Reunion Dubai, while Chiati and KUKII take over Room 3 at 25hours Hotel the following night for a special event presented by DXB Gossip. On November 14th, Bedouin will take the stage on the sandy shores of Be Beach at Dubai Harbour, followed by Adriatique’s signature ‘X’ audio-visual experience at Ushuaïa Dubai on November 15th.

Beyond the dancefloors, the summit will once again tackle some of the most pressing conversations at the intersection of music, culture, finance, and technology, with artists, agents, and industry leaders shaping the region’s creative and nightlife ecosystems, from underground movements to global mainstages.
