The Dubai Desert Rock, at Dubai Festival City, started off as a three-hour show and has grown into a rock festival featuring some of the best local and international bands. In 2009 it will devote itself strictly to heavy metal.
This festival is for true lovers of over the top rock - the 2008 show included the worldƀs first suspended Music Cocktail Bar with a 360 degree panoramic view from the counter and two champions of flair bartending able to serve 20 cocktails in a single bound.
DJs and light jockeys perform from the suspended bar, 50 meters in the air and fire art shows, a cable slide, a skate park and an infusion dance tent are all part of the parcel.
The heavy metal line-up features MotɆrhead, Arch Enemy, Opeth, Chimaira, August Burns Red, Nervecell, Scarab and Hatred.
