Pacha ICONS Returns to Dubai: Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, and Marco Carola Set to Ignite Playa Pacha’s 2025 Season

So what  is Pacha ICONS? Picture this: the a stunning beach club Playa Pacha with that unmistakable Ibizan party vibe, throwing down multi-genre, open-air celebrations that bring the world’s biggest international talent straight to your doorstep. And here’s the kicker – alongside Pacha ICONS, they’re also launching Pure Pacha, the world-renowned in-house event that’s already got serious pedigree from its long-running success at sister club Pacha Ibiza.

After absolutely crushing it with their latest season, Pacha ICONS isn’t slowing down. They’re coming back stronger than ever with a series of high-energy events that promise to be unforgettable. The party officially restarts on October 17th when the globally renowned techno legend Carl Cox takes over Playa Pacha at FIVE LUXE JBR in Dubai. And that’s just the beginning – Marco Carola’s bringing his Music On party, plus you’ve got BLOND:ISH, PAWSA, Peggy Gou, and HUGEL all locked in before the year wraps up.

While Pacha ICONS focuses on exclusive events featuring the biggest and most iconic names in the tech-house scene, Pure Pacha offers something equally special. Think of it as the ultimate chic party where pop meets house, featuring big-name DJs while also shining a spotlight on the hottest emerging talent in tech-house. It’s carrying on a rich tradition that’s been perfected over years at Pacha Ibiza.

Playa Pacha at FIVE LUXE JBR has quickly become a world-renowned destination in the vibrant JBR neighborhood. With its unique twist of magical Ibizan charm, it’s earned its reputation as the region’s go-to spot for music lovers craving a high-thrills, truly immersive electronic experience with the world’s most celebrated DJs. The venue itself is absolutely stunning – set against the hotel’s sleek architecture, you’ve got three glistening pools, direct beach access, and one of the largest LED screens in the region pumping out dynamic visuals that take the atmosphere to unprecedented levels.

When Carl Cox launches the season on October 17th, expect nothing less than his famously infectious energy, legendary mixing skills, and that signature blend of cutting-edge sounds and he’ll be joined by Philipp Straub and Fabrice to round out the night.

A week later on October 24th, BLOND:ISH rolls in fresh off a massive year that saw her make history as Pacha Ibiza’s first-ever female headline resident this summer with her Abracadabra party at Pacha. 

British house and tech innovator PAWSA takes over on November 7th alongside Fabrice and DiOSA, then things get even more interesting on November 14th when Pacha ICONS joins forces with Pure Pacha for a special event featuring French Latin house star HUGEL – the guy behind viral hits ‘I Adore You’ and ‘Bella Ciao’ – with Sam Oui and Emir also on the lineup.

Marco Carola makes not one but two appearances on November 21st and December 12th, bringing his Music On series and those energetic, infectious rhythms that have made him a crowd favorite. WhoMadeWho presents a night under the banner of their electronic festival, The Movement, on November 28th. Then on Saturday, December 6th, party starter extraordinaire Peggy Gou serves up the house and disco sounds that have made her a truly global phenomenon.

The bar was already set pretty high earlier in 2025 with standout sets from innovative and internationally recognized talents like Black Coffee, Marco Carola, Solomun, Rampa, Mochakk, BLOND:ISH, CamelPhat, and many more. Those nights created some seriously indelible memories.

Now the countdown is on for the world’s best artists to return for another sensational season, all backed by 50 years of party expertise from the legendary Pacha Ibiza. That’s half a century of knowing exactly how to throw an unforgettable party, making this the region’s most unparalleled experience. If you’re serious about electronic music, this is where you need to be.
