UNTOLD Dubai dazzles with huge debut edition [Review]
UNTOLD set out to lay the foundations in Dubai for the first time, for the region’s first mega-festival. Armed with star-studded names across an array of genres, it didn’t disappoint by any means.
Everyone knows the impressive festival brand that is UNTOLD. Laying its roots in Romania, this year saw them branch out even further for the first time, starting a new story in Dubai. As it was set to be Dubai’s first ever mega-festival, all eyes were on UNTOLD Dubai to deliver not only the stellar experience that the festival has become known for, but also set a new standard for international events going forward. For both of these aspects and more, its safe to say that they delivered a unique experience for fans and performers alike.
“UNTOLD Dubai has exceeded our expectations, and the response from attendees has been phenomenal. We are grateful for the support and enthusiasm from fans worldwide and are delighted that everyone shared the joy of this exceptional musical experience. UNTOLD Dubai was not just a festival but a global celebration of music, connection, and pure emotion. As we bid farewell to 2024, we eagerly anticipate returning in 2025 with even more magic and surprises. See you then!” – Edy Chereji, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of UNTOLD Universe.
Bringing together a host of artists that made the lineup one of the biggest for an international festival, you could see commercial titans such as Ellie Goulding, Bebe Rexha, G-Eazy and PSY against the likes of Armin van Buuren, Sebastian Ingrosso, Tiësto and Don Diablo just to name a few across five different uniquely designed stages. No matter the genre or artist, each performance lit up the crowds like no other, an undeniable electric energy coursing through the UNTOLD Dubai arena. Utilising the spaces perfectly, each stage told its own story, with interactive activations dotted throughout and installations made to fully immerse ticket-holders in the UNTOLD universe.
Vibrant, spellbinding and immersive, UNTOLD Dubai hit all the boxes for a successful festival debut. Already confirmed to be returning in 2025, it heads back to its home of Romania first on 8-11 August.
