Mark your calendars for Saturday 4^th April 2026, to welcome SYNTHONY for their first-ever performance in the region at Bla Bla Dubai! Fans can expect a night of dance music reimagined with a high-energy musical experience delivering electronic and dance anthems from the last 30 years through a full live orchestra, DJs, vocalists, and immersive visuals. The historic Dubai debut will be amplified by Faithless Sound System, the pioneering three-piece electronic dance group featuring iconic dance legend and co-founder Sister Bliss, alongside members Amelia and Lily.

SYNTHONY’s experience has garnered a remarkable following of over 1.5 million on social media, going viral for their reimagined orchestral renditions of electronic dance anthems, including those by Avicii, Calvin Harris, Darude, Faithless Sound System, Swedish House Mafia, Eric Prydz and more. What started as an intimate, town hall show in Auckland, New Zealand in 2017, SYNTHONY has now become an international sensation, selling out arenas, concert halls and large-scale outdoor festivals across the globe. With performances in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Mexico, United States, Europe, and more, SYNTHONY continues to build a strong and loyal fanbase around the world – soon to include the Middle East. Their first performance in Dubai will be led by one of Australasia’s most respected orchestra conductors, Sarah-Grace Williams.

Joining SYNTHONY for their premiere show is the renowned three-piece act Faithless Sound System, featuring DJ, artist, and producer Sister Bliss, a founding member of the legendary band and one of the most influential figures in the dance music scene. Having sold over 20 million records and headlined some of the world’s biggest festivals, Faithless Sound System is known for their chart-topping records and unforgettable dance tracks such as ‘God is a DJ,’ ‘Insomnia,’ and ‘We Come 1,’ amassing a large following over a career spanning three decades. Next April at Bla Bla, Sister Bliss, alongside band members Amelia and Lily, is expected to deliver a blend of their classics with cutting-edge electronic sounds, transporting fans back to the 90s and early 2000s with a nostalgia-fueled setlist.”

Conductor of SYNTHONY, Sarah-Grace Williams said “I’m absolutely thrilled to be bringing the unique SYNTHONY experience to Dubai for the very first time. It’s such a joy to see how audiences around the world connect to this powerful fusion of orchestra, electronic music, and visual artistry — and I can’t wait for Dubai to feel that same energy and emotion live.”

Sister Bliss adds “Faithless has always been about uniting people through music — and teaming up with SYNTHONY for this show is going to create something truly special. Expect big beats, euphoric moments, and an unforgettable night of pure energy.”

Bla Bla Dubai, having recently won Best Live Music Venue at What’s On Nightlife Awards 2025, offers the perfect mix of stunning scenery, lively energy, and world-class entertainment, bringing some of the biggest, most reputable names to the stage.
