The four-day spectacle known as UNTOLD Dubai is set to transform Dubai Parks & Resorts between Thursday, 6 November and Sunday, 9 November 2025, promising an immersive and extensive music and entertainment experience. According to information compiled by Few.ae editor, the festival is returning with expanded scale, five (or more) stages, and a venue upgrade to match the ambition of what organisers have billed as Dubai’s “mega festival.”
Venue and Technical Specifications
Dubai Parks & Resorts is situated along Sheikh Zayed Road, offering both excellent accessibility and large-scale infrastructure. The resort covers more than 25 million square feet, featuring multiple theme parks—such as MOTIONGATE™, LEGOLAND® Dubai, LEGOLAND® Water Park, Real Madrid World—along with dedicated retail and dining areas.
For UNTOLD Dubai, organisers are utilising the expansive open-air and semi-covered zones of the complex to host multiple stages simultaneously. Reports mention that the festival will deploy five distinct stages spanning genres from EDM to hip-hop, regional Arabic pop, Bollywood beats, afrobeats and more. The grounds are equipped for large-scale production: high-capacity lighting rigs, LED walls, immersive sound systems and specialised shuttle/drop-off infrastructure to manage high visitor volumes.
Additionally, joint tickets combining festival access with full entry to all theme parks on site are offered, demonstrating integration between the music event and the resort’s attractions.
Dates, Access, Transport and Weather
The festival opens on 6 November and runs through 9 November 2025. Standard four-day passes start at around AED 475 or AED 420 depending on phase. The resort venue is accessible via major highways, with Sheikh Zayed Road providing a main route. Organisers have also announced dedicated shuttle services connecting key points in the city to the festival site, plus ride-hailing drop-off zones and taxi access.
Weather in early November in Dubai is generally very favourable for outdoor events. The climate typically offers daytime highs near 30–32 °C, dropping to the low 20s °C in the evenings. Festival-goers should prepare for warm daytime conditions and possibly cooler air-conditioned indoor or shaded zones. Given the large scale and duration of the event, arriving early each day is advisable to handle parking or transport logistics.
Artist Line-up and Festival Programming
UNTOLD Dubai’s 2025 edition promises a stellar international line-up alongside regional talent. Headliners confirmed so far include Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren and Steve Aoki. Additional major acts include Alan Walker, KSHMR, NERVO, and regional stars such as DJ Bliss.
Across the multiple stages, festival-goers can expect a mix of electronic dance music (EDM), techno, trance, progressive house, hip-hop, afrobeats, Bollywood and Arabic pop. The programming spans four days and nights, ensuring continuous entertainment from afternoon into the early hours. The festival site is designed to host over 250,000 visitors across the four-day period.
Why This Edition is Significant
This iteration of UNTOLD Dubai marks a major expansion in scope and venue. After the 2024 edition at a different location, the move to Dubai Parks & Resorts signals a shift toward greater capacity, upgraded infrastructure and more immersive experiences. The integration with theme-park attractions, hotel stay packages, and the inclusion of multiple genres elevate the event beyond a conventional music festival. In addition, the festival draws a global audience, further enhancing Dubai’s role as a major destination for entertainment tourism.
Tips for Attendees
Attendees should plan arrival well ahead of showtimes to navigate transport and security smoothly. Given the large venue footprint, it is wise to familiarise oneself with site maps and stage locations early. For late–night sets, ride-hailing or shuttle services are more reliable than personal vehicles. With weather being warm, comfortable clothing suitable for standing/dancing is recommended; for shaded or indoor areas expect cooler conditions. Booking accommodation nearby—especially within Dubai Parks & Resorts or associated hotels—adds convenience and a more immersive experience. VIP and combination passes, which include theme-park access, may offer better value for multi-day festival-goers.
