UNTOLD Dubai Wraps Up with Record-Breaking Success in UAE. From February 15th to 18th, Expo City Dubai came alive with unrivaled energy as UNTOLD Dubai descended on the venue.
Fans of exceptional music were treated to a plethora of groundbreaking performances. From global superstars such as Tïesto, Hardwell, Armin Van Buuren, Don Diablo, Sebastian Ingrosso, Timmy Trumpet, Paul Kalkbrenner, and so many more.
The inaugural UNTOLD Dubai Festival, a globally recognized brand born in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, has just etched its mark on the international festival landscape, attracting over 185,000 music enthusiasts worldwide, with 45,000 attending on the final day. Over four days and four nights, UNTOLD Dubai transformed Expo City Dubai into a sprawling musical utopia, delivering a seamless blend of real-world experiences and boundless imagination. This scintillating festival fulfilled its promise to bring world-class entertainment to Dubai and firmly positioned the UAE as a premier festival destination.
4 stages, 100+ artists, infinite memories, and lifetime-changing experiences touched the souls of more than 185,000 fans on the festival’s four days and nights. The final night was not short of engaging electronic music either, featuring the iconic Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia, Australian DJ Timmy Trumpet, and Romanian pop sensation INNA. Ingrosso’s DJ set, featuring the premiere of his collaboration ‘Skip’ with Steve Angello, showcased the Swede’s mastery in creating an electric atmosphere.
The journey through UNTOLD Dubai’s musical Universe unfolded over four extraordinary days. Each festival day brought its unique set of highlights and emotions. Tiesto’s live set, one of the most anticipated moments for lovers of Trance and Progressive House, saw the Dutch maestro express his excitement at the fans’ overwhelming reaction to his performance.
House and Techno artists played their magic in the immersive Galaxy stage from Expo City Dubai. Luciano, Sven Vath, Hot Since 82, Kasia, Mahmut Orhan, Cezar, Paax Tulum, Marwan, and more have guided the fans into memorable musical journeys surrounded by unique mapping and projections in the mind-blowing architectural location of the Al Was Plaza (named after the Arabic word for “connection”). Its massive steel trellis dome, measuring 67,5 meters high, houses the largest 360-degree projection surface in the world, and it was a unique journey for everyone who visited this mesmerizing stage.
Fans enjoyed multiple activities, games, and fun experiences, a fashion village with creative designers, make-up artists, and hair stylers to create the best festival outfits and glow. Over 40 food vendors cooked their magic, while the alcoholic drinks had their designated areas. The festival spread its magic over 170,000 square meters of real-life fantasy decorations and the immersive spaces of the marvelous host Expo City Dubai.
Reflecting on the overwhelming success, Edy Chereji, the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of UNTOLD Universe, said: “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.

As we bid farewell to 2024, we eagerly anticipate returning in 2025 with even more magic and surprises. See you then!“
