The Programme offers exhilarating musical performances and brings exciting DJ sets straight to your living room.

The programme also features cooking classes to keep inspiration flowing in the kitchen. For the more creative residents, it offers easy tips for arts and crafts, while parents keep their kids entertained with fun and engaging activities.

Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, said: “At a time when we all need to support each other while we #StayHome, we wanted to contribute to the remarkable efforts by the city to help us all stand together and bring comfort, solidarity and relief in these challenging times. This was the inspiration behind the launch of the ‘Live from Dubai’ programme, which aims to showcase a series of virtual performances by some of the city’s leading local talent that the public can enjoy from the safety of their homes. As more entertainers join the movement, we hope to see the programme grow to offer even more diverse avenues for engagement and bring the community even closer to create special experiences together.’’
