In a breathtaking spectacle that left the world in awe, Armin van Buuren, the legendary Dutch DJ, recently shattered records by performing a mesmerizing set from the iconic Burj Khalifa. This historic event marked not one but two incredible world records, solidifying UNTOLD Dubai’s place as a trailblazing music festival.

Armin van Buuren, a name synonymous with electronic dance music, took center stage on the 149th floor of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet. This daring endeavor was not just a musical journey but a leap into the unknown. Armin’s 40-minute set was a breathtaking ascent to stratospheric heights, both literally and figuratively.

This breathtaking blend of music and visuals was nothing short of a masterpiece.


“There’s an unbelievably strong connection between myself, UNTOLD festival and its fans. I don’t think I’ve ever felt as alive as I do on stage at UNTOLD, and that makes this upcoming show at UNTOLD Dubai incredibly exciting.”
