MUMBAI: FIVE Palm Jumeirah, Dubai’s hottest hotel, welcomed thousands of guests from Thursday through to Saturday last week for the first edition of LUVYA Festival. With more than 40 performances from DJ superstars and legends of the underground, the three-day luxe festival was sprawled across 3 stages, offering quality music and inimitable vibe.
Situated on Beach by FIVE – the hotel’s new 150-metre private beach – the mainstage made a jaw-dropping impression with help from the production team behind Tomorrowland, Envie Events. Festival organisers pulled out all stops to deliver a world-class production from fireworks, pyrotechnics, and Co2, complemented by a stunning view of Dubai’s Marina skyline.
Tropical house producer Klingande kicked off the extravaganza on Thursday with an incredible sunset slot before beloved Belgian artist Lost Frequencies delivered a live DJ and keyboard performance. British singer, songwriter, rapper, DJ and producer Craig David captivated the crowd on Friday as he performed all his hits, while the world’s #1 DJ duo, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike sent the audience to a frenzy with infectious beats ranging from pop to hardstyle.
