Known as one of the world’s largest music festivals, UNTOLD made a successful Middle East debut in 2024, featuring multi-Grammy winner Sam Smith, Burna Boy, Martin Garrix, and more. This year’s lineup includes multiple Grammy-nominated Steve Aoki, Lost Frequencies, Korean superstar PSY, British pop icon Ellie Goulding, and EDM legend Armin van Buuren, just to name a few. Returning for its second edition, the festival is gearing up for an even bigger and louder experience, with a hefty lineup of world-class artists and DJs.
Known for its high-energy performances and top-tier production, UNTOLD is set to return from Thursday, November 6 to Sunday, November 9, transforming Dubai Parks and Resorts into a musical wonderland. Each year, the festival brings together a diverse mix of electronic music—from house and techno to pop and trance—uniting global music lovers under one roof. Renowned for its cutting-edge stage design, immersive art installations, and dazzling visuals, Untold creates an atmosphere where euphoria and sound collide.
If you’re thinking of going, here’s everything you need to know: this year’s musical overload will feature at least 100 artists across six stages over four days. The Main Stage will host the biggest headliners and serve as the festival’s focal point. The world-renowned Zamna brand from Tulum takes over the former Galaxy Stage, while the Time Stage will showcase both local and international acts. Other stages include Alchemy, the nostalgic Retro Stage, and the soulful Soul Circle Stage.
