Calling itself “the largest nightclub in the UAE”, the reincarnation of the graffiti covered club on Yas Island brings in big names (Tinie Tempah, Eve and Kid Ink), has friendly staff and thankfully doesn’t take itself too seriously.

While getting to the venue is a bit of a slog, the drive down to Ghantoot is well worth the effort for the music and laidback vibes. This month check out South African artist Black Coffee (Sister Bliss from electronica band Faithless told What’s On she’s “hoping to work with him. He’s a very cool dude”) on April 8 and Stephan Bodzin and Recondite on April 22.
