The festival will present a lineup of over 100 artists across five electrifying stages offering an eclectic fusion of musical genres across four days. Each stage will present a distinct musical odyssey, from the Main Stage hosting global superstars to the Galaxy Stage hosting house and techno trailblazers. The Alchemy Stage will beckon with its eclectic blend of dubstep, drum and bass, rap, trap, hip-hop, and urban music while the Time Stage will offer an immersive journey through space and time. For those seeking a nostalgic escape, the Retro Fashion Stage will present a trip down memory lane with retro pop, rock and disco classics.

The event will transform Expo City Dubai into a musical wonderland, which is spread over 170,000 square metres. More than 70,000 attendees per day will be present at UNTOLD, which annually hosts its dazzling flagship festival in Romania. Beyond the music, festival-goers can indulge in a myriad of activities, from fashion villages brimming with creative designers to gastronomic delights from over 40 culinary vendors.

To launch the inaugural chapter, the UNTOLD team partnered up with Armin van Buuren at Burj Khalifa for two world records: the highest performance on the tallest building on the planet and the largest LED screen used for a show.
