Dea: “I think we’ve always dreamed of doing an open-air edition — since forever! As huge fans of techno festivals, we absolutely love that feeling of being outdoors, and in Dubai, where the weather can be seriously gorgeous, it just makes sense. Now it’s happening — and it’s going to be stunning. We’re talking XXL metal structures inspired by our iconic cage, all set in a super cool industrial space. For the first time, we’ll have two techno stages, which is super exciting. We’re also collaborating with some amazing local independent brands, which makes it even more special. It’s all about showcasing the talent behind every detail of the show. We hope this is just the beginning — the first of many open-air editions to come. It’s such a cool new chapter for Secta, right alongside our classic club nights.”

Dea: “Since day one, Secta has been about community. It’s not just about music — it’s about embracing the deeper values of club culture and creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and connected. That’s why creative community building will be a core part of this edition. We’re introducing an open talk format with the Secta team, and we’re super excited to welcome local brands like SOLE, Hive, and Vinyl Souk to join the panel. Including this kind of educational element in our events feels essential to us — it adds real depth to what we do. And of course, we’ll balance it all with some fun — we’ll be running community interviews throughout the show to keep the energy real and the vibe interactive.”

Dea: “Secta x Peace Venue will be bringing some bold, 3D-style pieces that really capture an alternative vibe. Meanwhile, Secta x Workshop will be printing exclusive, super fresh graphics live — right on the spot. And we’re gifting the first 20 tees to our cute early birds.”
