Dubai is awash with events companies who bring over one major artist for one off shows. Over the years, CSM noticed the lack of music festivals and decided to push the enveloppe in the Middle East. Our festivals run for a minimum of 10 hours per day, with a line- up of between 6 to 8 international acts, coupled with the cream of UAE based talent. CSM's creativity has lead to a variety of on site activities to entice and entertain the consumer, from branded tents, through to elevated bars and wire slides that traverse the venue. Dubai Desert Rock FestivalThe Vision in 2004 was to establish an annual Rock Festival – much like the famous ones abroad– that brings artists, audiences, partners and supporters together in a dynamic, unique and highly interactive environment, and which helps cultivate an appreciation for live, rock music! Since its inception Dubai Desert Rock Festival is an internationally acclaimed music festival, has become the largest Rock event of its kind in the Middle East, doubling its attendances year on year, and bringing some of the largest names in rock music to these shores. Recent global acts and household names who have appeared included Korn, Muse, Iron Maiden, Robert Plant (from Led Zeppelin), The Prodigy, Marky Ramone, Machine Head, Velvet Revolver, Incubus, The Darkness ,Sepultura and Megadeth to name a few. DDRF provides the best international Rock and Metal bands for the audience and it is a huge benefit for the fans, the region, the culture and the tourism sector. Roster of artists (alphabetically) :
