  • First-of-its-kind party event set to take place on Sunday, February 26, at The Terrace, Media Rotana hotel, Barsha Heights

FamilyBeatz is a chance for families to enjoy a mini-festival vibe together, in a safe, inclusive and fun environment.

Developed by the team behind Dubai’s incredibly successful the Selfdrive Laughter Factory, FamilyBeatz is designed to help people with young children enjoy music and a relaxing afternoon while the kids also have fun.

“For too long, parents have sacrificed their right to party from the moment the kids are born,” says co-founder, DJ and party organiser extraordinaire Gail Clough, adding: “we want to enable a new wave of entertainment – where the adults can enjoy themselves as much as the kids.”

The first independent, grassroots music event – run by parents and seasoned ravers – will be held in the heart of Dubai at the Media Rotana hotel in Barsha Heights, between 3 and 6pm on Sunday, February 26. FamilyBeatz is set to be a monthly family rave event.

Parents are invited to bring along their children to take part in an afternoon of fun just like the pre-kids days. While the focus is on keeping kids under 8 entertained, children of all ages are welcome.

With a ‘Club Classics’ theme, and an invitation to dress as your favourite super hero, the party atmosphere is guaranteed.

Behind the decks for our first ever FamilyBeatz will be Dan and Kristian. Long time Dubai DJs known for their pop up parties and guest appearances, they span the soulful dance genre from disco to house and everything in between. They now join Ibiza Global Radio 95.3FM with a weekly showcase of their sound, every Saturday 10am.

Co-founder and doyenne of Dubai’s party scene, Kerry Bowen-Pacaud, says: “I’m a busy working mum and I realised how much I miss the old days of regular nights out. Becoming a mum is challenging enough, but a dying social life is tragic. We want to change that! I want to enjoy myself on the dance floor just like I used to, and our market research shows there’s plenty of other parents out there who’d love to relive those crazy days of youth, happy in the knowledge the kids are having fun too.”

Drawing on decades of combined experience of organising events, parties and big nights out – as well as parenting – the FamilyBeatz team set out to create an afternoon that will maximise fun for the whole family.

There will be music and drinks for all – with the music set to a friendly volume for the kid’s ears – and a range of activities for kids, like face painting, games, arts and crafts, balloon artists, glitter, and of course, the chance for the little ones to bust their best moves on the dance floor.

Food will be available, too, from the Media Rotana’s extensive menu.

“This concept is new to Dubai, but not new in other markets, where it’s proved to be extremely popular. We are excited to bridge the gap between parents feeling too tired to go out at night and the chance to enjoy a relaxed, informal mini-festival environment, without having to worry about babysitters, late nights or the kids upsetting other guests,” concludes Kerry.

The FamilyBeatz team looks forward to welcoming families to the Media Rotana on Sunday February 26, 3pm – 6pm.

For the first FamilyBeatz tickets are on sale for a special price of AED90 for one adult and child, with additional child tickets available for just AED30.

About FamilyBeatz:

Created in late 2022 as a reaction to the lack of family-friendly music events, FamilyBeatz is a new kind of independent, grassroots music event run by parents and seasoned ravers, with all the freedom and excitement of a mini- festival, in the heart of Dubai.

Drawing on our experience as ravers and parents, we create fun for all ages, inspired by the team’s lifelong love of clubbing and festivals. FamilyBeatz is something we want to take our own families to – somewhere relaxed and entertaining where adults enjoy themselves as much as the children.


[Terms & Conditions]

• Babies under 18 months are free of charge. All other children accompanied by an adult require a ticket. Additional children must book a child ticket.
