Aquaventure After Dark returns to Aquaventure World on 9 October 2026, bringing music, entertainment, night-time rides and special effects across Neptune and Poseidon Towers and Splashers Cove. Headlining the night is UK twin DJ and production duo ALTÉGO, Michael and Lukas Fernandes Pense, known for their high-energy mashups blending instantly recognizable pop, R&B, hip-hop and dance tracks into a sound built for the dancefloor.

ALTÉGO – Main Stage Headliner

UK twins Michael and Lukas Fernandes Pense, known as ALTÉGO, have built a global following with their high-energy mashups, blending instantly recognizable pop, R&B, hip-hop and dance tracks. The duo broke charts globally with “Toxic Pony”, their viral mashup of Britney Spears’ “Toxic” and Ginuwine’s “Pony”, and have since become one of the most recognizable names in the new generation of social-first DJs and producers.
On 9 October, ALTÉGO will headline the Main Stage at Torrent Beach in the Neptune Tower area from 10:00pm to midnight, bringing their signature mashups and energetic sound to Aquaventure After Dark.

Neptune Tower – Main Stage

Alongside ALTÉGO, the Main Stage at Torrent Beach will feature Dubai-based Taya Kruzz, known for her open-format sets spanning hip-hop, R&B and Afrobeats. She will be followed by Paris-born Keza, bringing his signature mix of house, hip-hop and open-format sounds. As the heart of the night, the stage comes alive with large-scale lighting, LED screens, lasers, dramatic smoke jets and sparkling stage effects.

Poseidon Tower – House & EDM

At Poseidon Tower, award-winning British DJ and producer Tom Higham will bring melodic and Afro-inspired electronic sounds, joined by Dubai-based house and electronic music producer Scott Forshaw, whose music has generated more than 15 million global streams.

Splashers Cove – Fred’s Coffee Party

For the first time, Fred’s Coffee Party, Dubai’s viral coffee gathering, will make its debut at the waterpark as part of Aquaventure After Dark. Taking over Splashers Cove, the experience will feature a curated DJ set and house-led sounds in a more intimate and social setting.
