IBIS MUSIC RETURNS TO DUBAI FOR SECOND EDITION, BRINGING TWO NIGHTS OF FREE LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM SOUL AND R&B ARTISTS

ibis MUSIC, the global live music platform by ibis, is returning to Dubai this May for its second local edition. As part of a worldwide series of over 40 mini concerts across 17 countries, ibis MUSIC continues its mission to shine a spotlight on emerging local talent while turning everyday hotel stays into immersive cultural experiences.

This quarter’s edition will feature two back-to-back performances by genre-blending artists, free and open to the public. On 13 May, old-school soul artist Boye’ Henry will take the stage at ibis One Central. With over 15 years of experience across regional stages, Henry is known for his emotionally grounded, musically expansive performances that draw from rock, soul, and indie influences.

The following evening, 14 May, Eybi, a Caribbean-Argentinean singer-songwriter, will perform at ibis World Trade Centre. Eybi’s alternative pop and R&B sound offers a compelling exploration of identity, rhythm, and personal evolution, delivered with a magnetic presence and effortless tone.

“We’re proud to bring ibis MUSIC back to Dubai for a second edition. As a brand, we’ve always believed in creating spaces beyond just accommodation, where culture, creativity, and community come together,” said Anoop Dhondoo, Regional General Manager at Accor WTC. “These events allow us to support emerging artists while offering our guests and the local community something meaningful, memorable, and uniquely ibis.”

Launched initially as a global program to support rising musicians, ibis MUSIC has hosted artists across five continents, from Paris rooftops to São Paulo bars. In Dubai, it continues to grow into a platform that bridges hotel hospitality with real cultural value, creating shared experiences through the universal language of music.
