About this list
Dubai gets the touring acts, and students get in cheaper than most people realise. Alongside the arena shows with student pricing, campus open mics, society battle-of-the-bands nights and the student festival circuit run through the year at a fraction of the cost.
Listings show the lineup where it is confirmed, the venue, the door time and what a student ticket costs. Open mics are usually free to watch and free to play.

Questions students actually ask
The things people search for before they turn up.
Browse every eventThere are 3 listed at the moment, each with the date, time, venue, price and organiser on its own page. The list is ordered soonest first, so whatever is at the top is what is happening next.
Yes, 1 of the 3 cost nothing to attend. The rest are priced at student rates, and the price is on the card before you click.
Any student in Dubai, unless a listing says otherwise. Campus events are sometimes limited to that university or need a student there to sign you in, and where that applies it is stated on the event page. Age limits, where they exist, are listed too.
New gigs, sets and festivals are added as organisers submit them and as university societies publish their terms, and events drop off the list once they have happened. Register and you get told what is coming up rather than having to check.
