Dubai is turning up the volume this November with one of the world’s most spectacular music events — UNTOLD Dubai 2025. From November 6 to 9, the city will transform into a global music hub as over 100 international artists bring four days of non-stop beats, lights, and energy to Dubai Parks & Resorts.

With the excitement building and stage preparations in full swing, UNTOLD Dubai is set to transform the city into a music lover’s paradise this weekend.
