Masquerave marks its third edition
Masquerave returns to Louvre Abu Dhabi for its third edition, transforming the museum into a large-scale nightlife venue for one night only. Taking place in the museum’s outdoor park, the event replaces the venue’s usual quiet atmosphere with electronic music, visual production, and a masked dress theme.
Doors open at 8:30pm, with the event running late into the night. Guests are encouraged to wear themed masks, adding a visual element inspired by masquerade traditions.
Adriatique to headline with Abu Dhabi debut
Swiss electronic duo Adriatique will headline the night, marking their first-ever performance in Abu Dhabi. Their set is scheduled from midnight until 2am. Known for their melodic house and techno sound, the duo are expected to deliver a carefully structured late-night performance under the Louvre’s dome.
The Blaze to perform first UAE DJ set
Ahead of the headline act, French electronic duo The Blaze will perform a DJ set from 10pm to midnight. This appearance marks their UAE debut. While best known for their cinematic music and visuals, the duo will present a DJ-focused set designed for the outdoor museum setting.
Architecture and art as part of the experience
Masquerave is designed to integrate music, architecture, and visual elements. The Louvre Abu Dhabi’s distinctive structure and surrounding artworks form part of the event environment, with lighting and staging adapted to the space. The museum setting becomes an active part of the experience rather than a traditional exhibition backdrop.
