Dubai is about to get a heavy dose of UK energy. Skepta, the Tottenham-born grime legend turned global style icon, is landing in the city on Saturday, December 6 for his first-ever solo DJ set in Dubai, and fans are already gearing up for a late-night chaos at Soho Garden Meydan. Fresh off his first Grammy nomination for the hard-hitting “Victory Lap” with Fred Again, the rapper-producer is stepping into a whole new chapter — and Dubai is getting the first look.
Skepta isn’t just another DJ pressing play. He’s the original Boy Better Know heavyweight who took grime from pirate radio frequencies to the top of the global charts. From “Shutdown” to “That’s Not Me,” he built a movement that shaped UK music and inspired a generation of underground creators. The guy went from clashing on mic to performing with Kanye at the BRITs — that doesn’t happen by accident.
But 2025 is a new lane. Skepta is switching gears with Más Tiempo, his house-focused label co-founded with longtime collaborator Jammer. The sound is deeper, darker, and club-driven — rolling house grooves, garage influences, and late-night edits built for crowded dancefloors. It’s the kind of unexpected artistic flip that proves Skepta isn’t done reinventing himself yet.
And Dubai is the perfect playground. Soho Garden Meydan, the city’s nightlife fortress next to The Meydan Hotel, has a reputation for grabbing the biggest names in electronic music — and letting them go wild. Skepta will headline the main room with a full Más Tiempo takeover, supported by label staples Djammin and Shae Reid.
Expect a crowd screaming every bar of “Bullet From a Gun”, then diving straight into deep house rollers like it’s London at 3 AM.
Tickets start from AED 150 — doors open at 10 PM. If you’re in Dubai, this is a no-sleep weekend.
