The trailblazing DJs will perform beneath the museum’s iconic dome.

Louvre Abu Dhabi is used to stopping you in your tracks. The galleries do that, naturally, but so does the building itself, with Jean Nouvel’s iconic dome casting its mesmerising “rain of light” across the museum. Now, the institution is leaning into its nocturnal side as Masquerave returns for a third edition, bringing late-night energy to one of the capital’s most striking cultural settings.

Taking place on Saturday, 7 February 2026, the third edition of Masquerave is set in the museum’s park, blending art, architecture, and nightlife with an avant-garde concept, themed masks, and a soundscape designed to move beyond usual gallery hours.

Headlining the night is The Blaze, the Paris-based duo of cousins Guillaume and Jonathan Alric, celebrated for pairing emotive electronic music with cinematic visuals. If you have ever found yourself deep in your feelings to “Territory,” “Eyes,” “Heaven,” “Virile,” or “Queens,” you already know the atmosphere they’re capable of building. The Blaze DJ Set performs their debut Middle East set from 10pm to midnight.

Then comes Adriatique, the Swiss duo Adrian Shala and Adrian Schweizer, whose melodic house and techno have become a main-stage favourite from clubs to festival megastructures. This is their first-ever performance in Abu Dhabi, running from midnight to 2am. Expect the kind of hypnotic build-and-release they’re known for, with tracks like “Home” and the Afterlife-era anthem “Ray” sitting high in the canon.

Of course, the venue is half the thrill. Louvre Abu Dhabi positions itself as a universal museum focused on cross-cultural connections, with a growing collection that spans human history across continents. For one night, that same spirit of discovery shifts from the galleries to the dancefloor.

But what is a Masquerave? Revellers at the Louvre Abu Dhabi will party beneath the iconic dome while celebrating the museum’s legacy. Previous editions of Masquerave have been headlined by Peggy Gou and Black Coffee.

If you want to catch Adriatique and The Blaze DJ Set live in Abu Dhabi, tickets will go on sale soon, so keep your mask ready. Louvre Abu Dhabi’s Masquerave takes place on Saturday, 7 February 2026. Doors open at 8:30pm, and it is strictly 21+ with IDs required.

We’ll see you on the dancefloor.
