Dubai is known for celebrating New Year’s Eve on a grand scale, but some nights rise above the rest and leave a lasting impression. On 31 December, one of the city’s most exciting beachside venues sets the stage for a celebration driven by music, movement, and shared energy. Celebrate New Year’s Eve with Sonny Fodera as he takes over Bohemia at FIVE Palm Jumeirah for a night designed to close the year on a powerful high.
This event is more than a countdown party. It is a full-sensory experience where house music meets the open sky, the shoreline becomes a dance floor, and the final moments of the year are shaped by sound. Following an earlier sold-out appearance, Sonny Fodera returns to Dubai with even greater momentum, ready to deliver an extended set that captures the spirit of celebration and connection.
Bohemia at FIVE Palm Jumeirah
Set within FIVE Palm Jumeirah, Bohemia has earned its reputation as one of Dubai’s most atmospheric nightlife destinations. Known for its beachside layout, immersive lighting, and carefully curated sound system, Bohemia blends relaxed coastal charm with high-end production.
On New Year’s Eve, the venue transforms into an open-air sanctuary for music lovers. The sea breeze, the glow of the Palm skyline, and the pulse of the bass create a setting that feels both intimate and expansive. Guests arrive not just to attend an event, but to be part of a shared moment that unfolds naturally as the night progresses.
The Sound That Moves the Night
Sonny Fodera’s music has a way of reaching people without trying too hard. His sound is warm, soulful, and unmistakably rooted in house music, yet polished enough to command the world’s biggest stages. Known for tracks such as Turn Back Time and One Night, he builds sets that feel emotional, energetic, and deeply connected to the dance floor.
Drawing from acclaimed albums like Frequently Flying and Wide Awake, his performances balance classic house influences with modern production. Each transition is intentional, guiding the crowd through peaks and releases that feel organic rather than forced. Whether you are dancing from the first track or joining midway through the night, his sets have a way of pulling everyone into the same rhythm.
Now based in London, Sonny Fodera has become a global name, with more than 50 million streams across platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. Despite his international success, his performances retain a club-focused energy that feels personal, making his New Year’s Eve set especially meaningful.
A Carefully Curated NYE Line-Up
The night is supported by a line-up that reflects Bohemia’s commitment to quality electronic music. Joining Sonny Fodera is Danny Howard, one of the UK’s most respected electronic music curators. Known for his role at BBC Radio 1, Danny Howard brings an instinctive understanding of crowd energy, delivering sets that are dynamic, driving, and finely tuned.
Completing the line-up are Kori Hall and Laureano, both adding their own flavour and depth to the evening. Together, the artists shape the musical journey from early evening grooves to the peak moments leading into midnight. The result is a seamless flow of sound that keeps the atmosphere alive and evolving throughout the night.
The Countdown on 31 December
As 31 December unfolds and the final hours of the year approach, the mood at Bohemia shifts from anticipation to pure celebration. Conversations fade into movement, and the collective energy builds as the countdown draws closer. When midnight arrives, the skyline erupts with fireworks, reflecting across the water and framing the moment with light and colour.
This is where the night reaches its emotional peak. Surrounded by music, the ocean, and a crowd united in celebration, guests step into the new year together. It is a moment that feels unfiltered and genuine, shaped not by spectacle alone but by the shared rhythm of the dance floor.
