The official Visit Dubai listing describes the event as a live performance by the Filipino superstars, making it another notable international music event on the October calendar.

Robin Schulz brings electronic music to Palm Jumeirah

Dubai's October entertainment calendar also extends beyond arena concerts.

German DJ and producer Robin Schulz is scheduled to perform at Bohemia Beach Club, FIVE Palm Jumeirah, on October 10. The official Visit Dubai listing says the show begins at 7pm.

Ticket categories listed by the event include general access, backstage dancing and VIP options, with prices varying by category.

Dubai Comedy Festival continues through October

Comedy is one of the biggest themes in Dubai's October entertainment programme.

Mo Gilligan is scheduled for October 12 at Dubai Opera, with tickets starting from AED 250 according to Visit Dubai.
