Emirates Dubai 7s has named its first music headliners. Former Spice Girl Melanie C will play a DJ set on Saturday 28 November, and Jax Jones takes over on Sunday 29 November. Both play the open-air party stage Beats on 2. The event runs from 27 to 29 November at The Sevens Stadium on Al Ain Road, just before the UAE National Day holiday.
Music is spread over four stages. Headliners for Frequency on 8 have not been confirmed, and more acts are due to be announced. Last year Beats on 2 featured Tinie Tempah and DJ EZ. Festival Director Mathew Tait said the pair are "fantastic DJs" who will lift the party mood.
On the pitch, the weekend opens the 2026/27 HSBC SVNS Series for men's and women's rugby sevens. Cricket, netball, padel and WODON3 fitness are also on the programme, and Gaelic football joins for the first time this year. Friday is billed as a family day with activities for children.
