Skepta is jetting into Dubai with the kind of momentum you can feel before he even lands. Soho Garden Meydan hosts him on 6 December for his first solo DJ set in the city, and the Más Tiempo crowd is already circling the date like it’s a drop.
He’s had one of those years where everything hits at once. A surprise Glastonbury moment that sent the timeline sideways. A Grammy nomination with Fred Again that felt like a quiet industry whisper turning into a full siren. And now this. A house-heavy chapter that moves different and brings a sharper, club-built edge.
Skepta’s path is its own genre. Tottenham kid. Pirate radio. Boy Better Know. The whole rise from underground grit to global stages is baked into the lore. Then he pivoted again. Fashion week runways turned into late-night London energy. Mains taking over rooms that weren’t built for that sound but still bent to it. It’s giving evolution with teeth.
Dubai gets the latest version of him, and that might be the most intriguing part. Soho Garden Meydan knows how to build a night, but this one feels like something they’ve been saving space for. Expect a room that screams every word of “Shutdown,” then drops straight into deep house rollers without missing a beat. Djammin and Shae Reid are stepping in too, and they know how to keep a floor awake past midnight.
Tickets start at AED 150. Doors open at 10pm. Simple enough.
What happens once Skepta walks in is the part no one’s pretending to predict.
The timeline is about to lose it. He’s bringing a silent serve, and this set will eat.
