Remember when you were in high school and the cool thing to say was ‘music is my boyfriend’? We’re here to assure you it’s still cool.
This Valentine’s Day (February 14), community organisers Freshly Ground Sounds are bringing back their fourth annual For the Love of Music event at Dubai Garden Centre to ensure you’re not alone in your romantic pursuit of good songs.
For the Love of Music will feature two notable things: fresh coffee and local bands (some old favourites, some new faces).
The Dubai Garden Centre will be transformed, according to organisers, “into an intimate pop-up live music venue for one night, surrounded by plants, candles and blankets.”
PS — in case you were wondering if it’s true love, yes, your pets are allowed to come, too.
