Dubai is getting another major night of electronic music this October as FREQUENCY 971 returns to Coca-Cola Arena for its third edition. Taking place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, the event will bring international electronic music names Benny Benassi and MORTEN together with Dubai-based DJ Slim for a night of big-room sounds, heavy basslines and full-scale arena production.
From Benassi’s iconic electro-house sound to MORTEN’s Future Rave productions and DJ Slim’s homegrown UAE energy, the lineup brings together different generations and styles of electronic music under one roof.
Benny Benassi Is Bringing ‘Satisfaction’ To Dubai
Few electronic tracks are as instantly recognisable as “Satisfaction.” Released by Benny Benassi and his cousin Alle Benassi in 2002, the track’s distinctive distorted bassline and mechanical rhythm became one of the defining sounds of the electro-house era.
But Benassi’s career extends well beyond his biggest hit. His discography includes albums such as Hypnotica, Rock ‘N’ Rave and Electroman, while his collaborations have included global artists such as Madonna, John Legend, Ne-Yo, Kelis, T-Pain and David Guetta.
Over the years, Benassi has also performed at major electronic music festivals including EDC, Coachella, Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival.
Now, he is heading back to Dubai for FREQUENCY 971.
“I’ve played Dubai many times and the energy here is always special,” Benassi said ahead of the show. “I’m really looking forward to coming back for FREQUENCY 971 and bringing my signature sound to the dancefloor.”

MORTEN Brings Future Rave To Coca-Cola Arena
Danish DJ and producer MORTEN will bring another side of electronic music to the lineup.
MORTEN is one of the key figures behind Future Rave, the high-energy electronic sound he developed alongside David Guetta. The style is known for cinematic builds, powerful drops and heavy bass-driven production.
His collaborations with Guetta have generated hundreds of millions of streams, while his wider work includes artists such as ARTBAT, RAYE, Aloe Blacc, Clementine Douglas, Trippie Redd, Dave East, BONN and Lanie Gardner.
MORTEN has also appeared at some of the world’s biggest electronic music festivals, including Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival.
“I’m excited to be part of FREQUENCY 971 and to bring my Future Rave sound to Dubai,” MORTEN said. “It’s going to be a night of big energy, and I can’t wait to feel the energy from the crowd.”
Dubai’s DJ Slim Completes The Lineup
Bringing a local touch to the international lineup is DJ Slim, a Dubai-based DJ known for high-energy electronic sets.
His appearance also fits into the wider concept behind FREQUENCY 971, which combines international electronic music acts with talent from the region.
With an arena audience expected, DJ Slim will help set the tone before Benassi and MORTEN take over the main stage.
Expect A Full-Scale Arena Rave
With Coca-Cola Arena capable of accommodating up to 17,000 people, FREQUENCY 971 is set up to be considerably bigger than a typical club night.
The City Walk venue regularly hosts major international concerts and large-scale productions, making it a natural fit for an electronic music event built around powerful sound, lighting and arena-sized production.
