Get your rave on at Elrow XXL in Dubai

The electronic music festival is scheduled to take place in February 2023.

Hold onto your glow sticks, the electronic music festival Elrow XXL is coming to Dubai. The festival is scheduled to take place in February 2023, and looks set to be a massive, must-visit rave.  

Elrow (minus the XXL) has taken place before at Dubai’s Soho Garden in Meydan, but the next edition is, well, going large. The location has not yet been confirmed, but we do know that it will be able to hold a whopping 8,000 people and run from 2pm until late. Plus, the event will have one of Elrow’s largest stages – the pirate ship-like Rowmudas Triangle.

There aren’t many festivals in the world that can claim they have a 150-year-old history, but Elrow has a quirky origin story. Jose Satorres, who was born in Fraga, Spain, is the founder behind the festival. While Jose was doing military service, he discovered cabarets and cultivated his love of music. In 1870 he opened Café Jospet, a social club that would form the beginnings of what is now a worldwide festival. 

Today, Elrow is a magical music festival, which showcases the best of electronic music. Across the globe, the festival has taken place in cities ranging from Amsterdam to London.
