Stalwart South African DJ Black Coffee is a regular in the UAE, performing at numerous festivals in Dubai. This February, however, the popular DJ is catching a flight to Abu Dhabi to perform at the stunning Louvre Abu Dhabi for Masquerave.

Now in its second edition, Black Coffee is set to bring his soulful beats and electrifying energy to the art museum on February 15, 2025. The rave takes place under the stunning dome, which, yes, for the night transforms into a one-of-a-kind vibrant dancefloor.

The South African DJ has been a pioneer of the kwaito genre, who has a signature jazzy blend of African beats with an ethereal kind of house music vibe. Black Coffee quickly became a regular feature on the global circuit and has released countless successful albums and singles. He has also worked alongside countless international artists and among his many accolades, and he was crowned Best International DJ at the 2015 BET Awards.
