His rock-heavy set, complete with a tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, provided a welcome contrast to the electronic music dominating most stages.<\/p>\n<p>Over on the Zamna stage, Swedish electronic music icon Eric Prydz commanded the crowd with his signature progressive house sound and stunning vocals.<\/p>\n<p>J Balvin&#8217;s first-ever Dubai performance on the final night transformed the mainstage into a reggaeton celebration.
