And yes, MC CKP will be on the mic, bringing those unmistakable underground vibes and hyping the crowd from start to finish.

It doesn’t stop there, some of Dubai’s top local talent will also be spinning, including Tom Karno, Engr & Kizo, Walia, and DJ Moky, with mic support from high-energy hosts MC Tino and MC Black Arab.

Whether you’re two-stepping up front or vibing in a prime table spot, this is set to be one of the most electric events of the season.
