There’s plenty going on in the UAE this weekend and we’ve lined up some of the events we don’t want to miss, from super star acts to acts of kindness.
Thursday
Don’t Tell ‘Em (That You’re Seeing Jeremih)
Superstar singer-songwriter Jeremih is in Dubai for Billionaire Mansion’s season closing party tonight and you don’t want to miss him performing his biggest hits ‘Don’t Tell ‘Em’ and ‘Down on Me’ – live! Bringing a final weekend of ten digit glamour to the emirate, Billionare Mansion has become known for its big acts, niche events and famous faces in the crowd so we’re sure that the season finale will be no exception. It’s expected to sell out quick so book tables as soon as you can. Billionaire Mansion, Taj Hotel, Burj Khalifa Street, Business Bay. Tel: 056 678 3357.
Jump Around
Get to Bounce’s 2nd birthday party tonight for acrobats, light shows, hip hop and, of course, trampolines. We have a feeling this party is going to be jumping. Bounce, Al Quoz. Dhs80 per hour, 8pm to midnight. Tel: (04) 321 1400.
Friday
Lock, Stock and Brunch
New bar on the block – Lock, Stock & Barrel in Tecom – now has your Friday afternoons on lock. With a venue that looks like it’s been lifted straight out of New York, pull up a chair and join your friends for a three round sharing experience free from any hint of pretention. And when we say it’s unpretentious we don’t mean it’s un-delicious – tuck into a selection of mussel pots, crayfish mac and cheese, chilli con carne and pop corn shrimp. Lock, Stock & Barrel, 8th floor of the Grand Millennium Hotel Dubai, Tecom. Dhs250 unlimited beverages, Dhs199 soft drinks. Tel: (04) 514 9195
