Venue radar
Bla Bla covers 100,000 sq ft of JBR beachfront facing Bluewaters, with a poolside stage and more than 200 Martin Audio boxes spread across the site. Shows here are big touring productions rather than a weekly night, so this page is often short. When something is on, check which space it is in.
The venue
Bla Bla runs across 100,000 sq ft of JBR beachfront, looking over Bluewaters, with a poolside stage plus indoor and outdoor spaces. Shows are spread across those areas, so check which space a night is in. The walk between them is part of the trip.
Programming
What lands here tends to be large touring productions and live-plus-DJ crossovers rather than a weekly resident night. We list a Bla Bla date once a public source confirms it, so this page is short by design when nothing is on.
Booking
Open any night below for its date, start time and price, then buy through the official link. Details are set by the organizer and can change, so confirm on the source before you go.
Sound
The install spans the CDD series, CDD6 through CDD15 with weatherised WR versions outdoors, plus SX118 subs carrying the low end at the pool stage and SX112s through the surrounding areas, and 15-inch LE200 wedges for acts on the outdoor stage. Powersoft amplification runs it. Design consultant Bengan Hovgard of Loud and Clear Audio Visual specified the system, Pulse Middle East integrated it. It's a site-wide coverage design across a very large footprint rather than one tuned dancefloor. Stated by Martin Audio's April 2021 install release.
