Sun, Sea and Sensational Music: Sandance Festival 2011

Sandance Music Festival

Nasimi Beach, The Palm Jumeira, Dubai – Friday 11^th March 2011

Dance music festivals are big business around the world but whilst those in Europe, the UK especially, are subject to the great unpredictability of the British summertime weather, the Sandance Music Festival in the paradise of Dubai’s Palm Jumeira guarantees glorious sunshine, clear blue seas and most importantly of all an impressive one-day lineup that might just get you jumping on the next plane.

Palm Jumeira’s Nasimi Beach couldn’t be a more perfect place to party in the baking sunshine and under the stars. The Sandance Music Festival brings together unbeatable luxury and a solid lineup of DJs, live acts and artists. It’s quite simply the music event in Dubai.
