The Dubai Desert Rock started off as a three-hour show and has grown into a rock festival for true lovers of over the top rock. It brings some of the best local and international bands to Dubai Festival City.
Previously the show included the world´s first suspended Music Cocktail Bar with a 360 degree panoramic view from the counter and two champions of flair bartending able to serve 20 cocktails in a single bound.
DJs and light jockeys performed from the suspended bar, 50 meters in the air, and fire art shows, a cable slide, a skate park and an infusion dance tent were all part of the parcel.
