Some residencies you clock and forget. This one you’ll want in the calendar. Switch Disco, the duo who turned Robert Miles’ ‘Children’ into a UK top-five single, are setting up a monthly home at Bla Bla by McGettigan’s from Saturday 17 October. And they’ve picked the best slot of the day to do it: golden hour, right on the JBR sand.
Here’s the shape of it, minus the press-release gloss.
What to Expect: Pure Ibiza Vibes as the Sun Goes Down
If you know ‘React’, you know what you’re in for. Big nostalgic hooks, a festival-sized build, and that specific Ibiza feeling of a set peaking as the sun drops behind the water. Switch Disco does the mash-up thing better than most, and Bla Bla’s beach club is arguably the right room for it in Dubai. The launch day runs long. Come for the brunch, stay for the sunset, or just rock up for the set. Your call.
How the Day Plays Out at Switch Disco
- 12 PM to 4 PM: Bla Bla’s Pool Brunch, with NS Boulevard warming things up
- 5 PM to 8 PM: Switch Disco takes the decks for the sunset session
So it’s a proper day-to-night if you want it, or a tidy three-hour sunset party if you don’t.
What It Costs?
Two tickets, depending on how much of the day you want:
- Pool Brunch: AED 499
- Switch Disco Sunset Session: AED 299
Both get you into the Switch Disco set, so if the DJs are the whole reason you’re going, the AED 299 sunset ticket is the smart buy. No point paying for four hours of brunch you’ll only half-use. One thing to sort before you commit: check exactly what the AED 299 covers beyond entry, since brunch and sunset packages usually differ on food and drinks.
Offer For Teachers And Cabin Crew
If you fly for a living or teach for one, you get 25& off with a valid ID. That’s a genuinely good deal at a JBR beach club, and it stacks nicely with the other McGettigan’s offers doing the rounds this season. Want more beach club value while you’re at it?
