The long-awaited Dream Caribbean Carnival lands in Dubai from 13 to 16 November.


Dubai gets a true taste of the islands this month as Dream Caribbean Carnival rolls into town with four days of music, masquerade and sundown entertainment. The centrepiece is FETELAND: The Carnival Mas and Mega Concert, where Mavado tops a bill of Caribbean heavyweights performing in Dubai. Expect the voice behind global hits like “So Special,” “Weh Dem a Do,” “Progress,” “On the Rock,” and “Give It All To Me” featuring Nicki Minaj to light up the shoreline with a set built for sing-along moments and bass-heavy drops.

Sharing the stage is a lineup of bona fide island talent including KES Dieffenthaller, Charly Black and more special guests. FETELAND blends the pageantry of a traditional Carnival Mas with a full-scale concert experience, uniting premium sound, steelpan spirit and soca rhythms under Dubai’s glittering skyline. From feathered costumes to flag-waving anthems, this is a one-night showcase designed to move the crowd.

The long weekend brings a stacked schedule. It starts with a Welcome Meet and Greet on Thursday 13 November. Friday 14 November serves up CARNIVAL STARTER, a soca workshop with Bambaii, followed by the House of Soca Pool Party. Saturday 15 November is all about FETELAND, combining the Mega Concert Experience with a complete Carnival Parade. Festivities close on Sunday 16 November with COLOURLAND, a Jouvert-style brunch experience that brings paint, powder and plenty of vibes.

Tickets cover a range of experiences. General Admission is priced at 85 USD, VIP at 150 USD and VVIP with drinks included at 285 USD. The Ultimate VIP Experience includes fast-track and ushered entry, access to an exclusive seated zone, dedicated waitstaff, premium bottle service and a curated VIP menu.

Tables and tickets to see Mavado live in Dubai are limited, so booking is recommended to guarantee a spot at the beach.
