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.

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.”
