Harley-Davidson MENA is celebrating Harley's 115th anniversary with an event out in the highways and byways of the UAE. From 9am-5pm on Friday, if you find yourself in Sharjah's Batayeh Region (the Al Batayeh - Al Faya Road, a few kilometres on from Al Tahady Motor Cycles Rental) you'll find live music, good food, awesome people to meet, many surprises and most of all, great bikes. Go to the Harley MENA website to sign up for a test drive for when you get there. Visitors will receive a Harley-Davidson 115th-anniversary pin, a video of you riding the bikes you chose to test ride, the chance to win tickets to watch a Rolling Stones concert live in Prague on July 4 and a cool Harley sticker.
Tauseef Akhtar
Celebrating Jagjit Singh's music, ghazal performer Tauseef Akhtar will be in concert tonight. Tauseef Akhtar was mentored by Jagjit Singh and will play some of Jagjit's most famous ghazals. Catch him at the New World Pvt School in Al Tawar, Dubai at 7pm. Tickets start at Dhs100 at Platinumlist and UAE Exchange outlets.
Immunity Session
Dubai will witness a parade of local and international music talents with Diplomatic Immunity Session 1 happening at 40 Kong on Saturday. The launch of Diplomatic Immunity aims to expose  local talent and catapult them to fame. The roster of homegrown hip-hop artists includes FADL, who played with DJ Khaled.

He'll be in Abu Dhabi and Dubai on April 13 and 14 at the InterCon AD and Ibis Dubai World Trade Centre respectively. Platinumlist.net for tickets and deets.
Dubai Hills  fun
Dubai Hills Weekend is marking its season finale this Friday. Under the theme, 'Spring is in the Air', the outdoor event will host an array of family-friendly activities in Dubai Hills Estate. Among the activities will be food options to get on board, an outdoor cinema, a petting zoo, oversized inflatable props, spring-themed decorative items, a live DJ and more from 2pm to 10pm.
Uber excited
Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE is celebrating the return of überhaus, Lebanon's most alternative party group tonight. For its 3rd session, the venue is once again building that dome structure housing Acid Pauli, Martin Buttrich, and HOSH. Germany's sensational import will "hypnotize and mesmerize people and get them lost in sound", according to the promoters. We can't wait.
Free yoga
If you want to become more flexible and you like free stuff, City Centre Mirdif is hosting a yoga session. On Friday, sports wear brand Lululemon will be putting on the moves from 8.30am to 9.30am.

That's as well as stretching right next to top fitness influencers, which is motivation guaranteed.
