- SURF ABU DHABI PRESENTS: CLAPTONE & GROOVE ARMADA (DJ Set)
Friday 13 November 2026 · The Garden, Surf Abu Dhabi, Hudayriyat Island
Two titans of house music come to the edge of the world's biggest wave pool for one night only.
Surf Abu Dhabi, home to the world's largest wave pool, hosts an open-air night of world-class house music in The Garden. The show is presented in association with Ilios, with a full production stage facing the waves.
CLAPTONE
The golden-masked icon behind "No Eyes" and "Heartbeat" has been voted DJ Mag's Highest House DJ five years running. He plays more than 275 shows a year, from Tomorrowland and Coachella to Creamfields and Ultra. His remixes of "Liquid Spirit" and "Cold Heart" made a global impact, and his Masquerade parties are among Ibiza's most theatrical nights.
GROOVE ARMADA
For three decades, Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have been one of the UK's greatest dance music exports. They have three UK Top 10 albums, three Grammy nominations and classics such as "At The River," "Superstylin'" and "I See You Baby." They also founded the Lovebox festival. Today they headline Defected and Glitterbox events worldwide with DJ sets spanning house, disco, and their own timeless catalogue.
