Drake and Paris Hilton are among the A-list stars who will visit the UAE later this month, to appear at a series of exclusive after-parties over the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.

Rap superstar Drake will be in town for two nights, partying at a pop-up event hosted by VIP Room, at Yas Island venue Cipriani.

The Canadian rhyme-smith will be on the mic for a club set on Saturday November 26, before playing official party host for the closing race day party, on Sunday November 27.

Hilton meanwhile gets behind the decks on opening night Friday November 25, in between sets from Ibiza legend Luciano (and his “friends”).

Hilton last DJ’d in the capital in April 2015 to launch new nightspot Legends, just months after spinning down the road at the opening of Clé Dubai.

Hip-hop artist Gallet — better known as “Rihanna’s Brother” — will also play VIP Room’s host on both the Saturday and Sunday evenings, the latter being the same evening his sister will meet a rather larger audience at Du Arena.

More celebrity guests have been promised at the club, with resident DJs Mel Debarge, DJ Spade, 4korners and Chris Nati on rotation over the three days.

The parties run 11pm-3am nightly. While exclusive, entry is guaranteed to everyone with a table reservation — otherwise try your luck at the rope.
