9 things to do in Dubai this weekend
We’re ready to wrap up April with a weekend full of great music, partying and shopping. Check out a pop-up shop in Dubai Mall with local designers and browse the stalls at JBR’s night market. If music is what you’re after, you’re in for a treat. The next few days are packed with DJs, singers and performers. Disclosure and Rudimental are teaming up for a gig at Love Music Your Way in Media City, and for a good old sing-along head to Irish Village for the Proclaimers. There’s also a yacht party being held by Urber and Nikki Beach. We’re tired just at the thought of it all.
Superheroes ft Bill Kenny at Dek on 8

Where: Dek On 8, Media One Hotel
The Proclaimers
The bespectacled Scottish duo responsible for the unforgettable stomp-folk-singalong hit “500 Miles” from 1988 – don’t kid yourselves, you know it and half the words to it, too – are bringing their vault of winning tunes back to the UAE this weekend. Set to play to a sold-out crowd at the Irish Village, concert goers, Celtic or otherwise, can expect to hear all of their classic songs, which also include “Letter From America” and “King of the Road” alongside tunes from their latest album, Cooking Vinyl.

Cinema – Midnight Special (18)
We’re overdue a decent paranormal flick and Jeff Nichols’ Midnight Special might just be it. The plot is centred around the kidnapping of an eight-year-old boy by Michael Shannon and Joel Edgerton. This abduction has an ulterior motive, though, which is actually more of a cult-obsessed rescue. For this is no ordinary child; he possesses an otherworldly power that a high-ranking NSA officer (Adam Driver) considers a grave threat to national security.
