7 awesome things to do in Dubai this week
Jinjer
Are there many fans of Ukrainian groove metal in Dubai? We’ll be in a better position to judge after Jinjer have passed through The Music Room. Formed in 2009, they have gone on to share a stage with the likes of Caliban, Evanescence and The Rasmus, although this will be their first time to the Middle East. They’ll be supported by local acts Svengali, Pull Box, Wulfram Dxb and Riot Fist.
When: July 28
Where: The Music Room, Mankhool
Price: AED120

Plus-Minus with Matthias Meyer
Matthias Meyer is the main draw for the last Plus-Minus party of the month. The DJ has carefully developed a groove-laden, textured and almost organic approach to house and techno music, shunning obvious floor-fillers in exchange for ever-evolving sets that build to a crescendo. As with all Plus-Minus parties, there is a AED275 food and drink package available, otherwise it’s AED100 on the door from 9pm.
When: 6pm – 3am, Friday, July 28
Where: Bridgewater DXB, JW Marriott Marquis
