Ushuaa Dubai Harbour Experience to bring an eight-metre-tall humanoid robot for New Year celebrations

The plans for Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience to welcome 2025 have been revealed. The EDM experts are bringing an eight-meter-tall humanoid robot to the stage as part of Italian DJ and producer pair Mathame's NEO globe tour, after their October visit to the emirate with international superstar Calvin Harris. 

To create a completely immersive performance, the humanoid, dubbed NEO, is brought to life by light and shadow and synchronises with Mathame's expressive rhythms. Show tickets are available via Platinum Listand start at Dhs195.

The well-known Amnesia club in Ibiza hosted Mathame's NEO concert eight times from June to the end of September. 

With dates in New York City and Medellin, Colombia, the only two locations to witness the act up close before Dubai on the globe tour, the Italian pair has also brought its humanoid on a global tour (imagine getting NEO past airport security). 

NEO is a tangible representation of their "connective ethos and effervescent vigour," according to Mathame, but we just think it's awesome.

You may enter to win two round-trip tickets to Dubai for New Year's Eve and backstage access to view Mathame and their humanoid friend NEO up close on the Ibiza nightclub's Instagram. 

However, because entries end on Thursday, October 24, and winners are chosen on Thursday, October 31, you'll need to act quickly.

Tickets start from Dhs195 and are available on the Platinum List.
