Alternative Music Scene in Dubai Jan 05, 2007
I am moving to Dubai in a week or so and i was wondering if there is any kind of alternative music scene.

I like a wide range of alternative music such as

Non commerial dance (hardcore & gabber)
Drum and Bass
Industrial Metal
Punk
Metal

Basically i like most things as long as it's loud and noisy!

Are there any venues in Dubai where i can find any of the above?

Thanks in advance :)

As for the metal scene,

There is the yearly Desert Rock festival. This year it brings us Iron Maiden, Incubus, In Flames, Mastodon, Children of Bodom, The Prodigy, and Stone Sour.

it'll be great!

as for the local scene, It's a small community. Quite a few good bands that don't play often, but there's always an underground (small) gig going on somewhere.

I would really love to see The Prodigy live
