Midweek just got a whole lot better with O Beach Dubai
Sponsored: Find your perfect spot…
O Beach Dubai is redefining what Wednesdays can look like with its brand-new Poolside Sessions – a blissed-out beachside escape packed with Afro House beats, Mediterranean flavours, and front-row views of Dubai Marina and Ain Dubai. Who says the weekend should have all the fun?
Running every Wednesday, Poolside Sessions is tailored for those who live outside the typical 9-to-5 or are ready to shake up their midweek routine. Picture this: lounging on an in-pool bed or a beachfront cabana, sipping chilled Rosé while smooth tunes fill the air and the sun dances off the water. The vibe seamlessly evolves throughout the day—from laid-back brunch energy to golden hour bliss.
Chef Ibrahim ATA's menu plays a starring role too, offering a tantalizing fusion of Mediterranean favourites, from vibrant ceviche to hand-rolled sushi. Guests can choose from curated packages, including AED 195 for a 75cl bottle of O Rosé paired with edamame and sushi, or go all in with the AED 395 magnum option for two sushi rolls and extra sparkle.
Industry insiders aren't left out either—airline and hospitality professionals with a valid FaceCard enjoy 20 per cent off the total bill and complimentary bed access (subject to availability), making this a top-tier weekday perk.
Whether you're booking a luxe private cabana with AC and a plunge pool or lounging poolside in the thick of the action, the space is designed for guests to create their own perfect day.
Plus, O Beach's carefully curated Spotify playlist means the beats don't have to stop once you leave. And if you're hooked on the vibe? Stick around for the venue's other iconic events – from ON111 on Thursdays to La Fiesta on Fridays, O Brunch by Secret Parties and Kisstory on Saturdays, and MUSE Ladies' Day every Sunday.

Finnish Rock Icons The Rasmus to Ignite Dubai Stage
Finnish rock band The Rasmus will perform at The Agenda in Dubai on 27 October 2025, as part of their expansive Weirdo Tour, marking their sole Middle East appearance that year. Doors open at 19:00 with the concert slated to begin at 20:00, promising a two‑hour set blending classic hits and new material, with tickets starting from AED 300. Formed in Helsinki in 1994, The Rasmus rose to global prominence with their third studio album, Into, and the breakthrough record Dead Letters, buoyed by the enduring anthem 'In the Shadows'. Core members Lauri Ylönen, Eero Heinonen, Aki Hakala and guitarist Emppu Suhonen continue to define their signature fusion of hard‑edged guitar riffs and electronic-pop sensibilities. Their forthcoming eleventh album, teased by Ylönen as the band's heaviest and darkest project yet, is expected to feature prominently in the Dubai setlist. Speaking to fans, Ylönen said, 'It represents our new sound… it's shaping up to be the heaviest and darkest album of our career to date!'. ADVERTISEMENT The Weirdo Tour 2025 spans multiple continents, including headline dates in Greece, Germany, the UK, France and Mexico, with Dubai serving as its exclusive regional stop. Tour promoters highlight the performance at The Agenda as a marquee highlight in their calendar, underscoring Dubai's growing stature as a pivotal music hub. Concert ticketing is in full swing via local platforms such as Platinumlist, where prices start at AED 300. The event is strictly for audiences aged 18 and above, aligning with venue policy. The location, situated on Abdullah Omran Taryam Street, is accessible by car, public transport or ride-hailing, with proximity to the Dubai Internet City metro station. Industry analysts suggest the Dubai stop highlights the band's strategic outreach to growing markets in the Middle East and Asia. The Rasmus has a strong fan base in the region, bolstered by extensive touring history in Asia and successful chart performances. The band's international sales exceed four million albums, and they boast numerous accolades, including the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Nordic Act. Critical reception traces their evolution from gothic-tinged rock to a polished amalgamation of hard rock, pop, and electronic layers. Fans on platforms such as Bandsintown praise their live presence; one review of a North American show noted: 'they're really cool… down to earth'. Reviews spotlight not only their musicianship but also their dynamic stage engagement. Dubai's live music infrastructure has expanded significantly, and The Agenda sits at the city's cultural epicentre, offering state-of-the-art acoustics and production capability. Local concertgoers will likely benefit from the venue's curated amenities and strategic location amid Dubai's entertainment district. Organisers emphasise that this concert is a one-night-only experience, urging fans to act swiftly to secure tickets. Merchandise booths are expected to feature limited-edition tour gear, aligning with The Rasmus's established merchandising approach observed in prior tour stops. With their roots firmly planted in 1990s alternative rock and a career characterised by reinvention, The Rasmus now stand at an inflection point. Their forthcoming album and accompanying stage presentation have sparked anticipation among long-term followers and a newer generation discovering their evolving sound. This Dubai show offers a snapshot of that transformation—a fusion of nostalgia and forward momentum. Fans planning to attend are advised to arrive early and prepare for a full evening of high-octane performance, combining beloved hits such as 'In the Shadows', 'Guilty' and 'Livin' in a World Without You' with previews of their latest musical offering. As articulated by Ylönen, the atmosphere is expected to reflect the band's 'family' ethos: intimate, energetic and unifying. Reflecting on The Rasmus's longevity, their adaptability is evident: transitioning through line-up changes, genre shifts and the evolving digital landscape, they continue to harness a dedicated fan base across continents. The Dubai concert will serve as a case study in how veteran bands can recalibrate for modern relevance while maintaining core identity. No supporting acts have been confirmed as yet, though the band's itinerary suggests a standalone headline performance. Concert logistics, including security protocols and access arrangements, will align with The Agenda's standard operating procedures.
