Dubai just dialed up the heat as UNTOLD Dubai kicked off its first-ever bash in the Middle East, and boy, did it hit the high notes!
It was a whirlwind of beats, bass drops, and blissful vibes as over 40,000 music lovers swarmed Expo City Dubai, transforming it into a neon-lit wonderland of sonic euphoria.
A sprawling musical utopia sprawling over 170,000 square meters, with stages so epic they'd make Mount Olympus blush. From the electrifying Mainstage to the underground beats of the techno temple, every corner of Expo City was alive with the sound of pure magic.
And who stole the show, you ask? Well, hold onto your glow sticks because we're about to spill the tea on the musical marvels that graced the stage!
Armin Van Buuren
The man, the myth, the trance legend himself, took us on a two-hour journey to the stars. With beats so infectious they should come with a warning label, Armin proved once again why he's the undisputed king of the DJ cosmos.
Ellie Goulding
With a voice that could melt glaciers and a stage presence hotter than the Dubai sun, Ellie lit up the night with hits old and new. From "Love Me Like You Do" to "Worry About Me," she had us dancing like nobody's watching (except for the 40,000 other people, but who's counting?).
Paul Kalkbrenner
If you thought techno was just for dark warehouses, think again! Paul Kalkbrenner brought the underground to the surface with beats so deep they could rival the Mariana Trench. "Sky and Sand" never sounded so good!
John Newman
Soulful, sensational, and downright sublime, John Newman had us feeling all the feels with his electrifying performance. "Love Me Again" never fails to hit us right in the feels, and last night was no exception.
But wait, there's more! Day two promises even more madness with heavyweights like Tiesto, Hardwell, and Badshah ready to take the stage and blow our minds all over again.
And here's a pro tip for all you party animals out there: leave your cash and cards at home because UNTOLD Dubai operates on a whole new level of cool. It's all about the wristbands, baby! Just load 'em up with credits, and you're good to go. Plus, if you're anything like us and can't stop the party, you can get a refund on any leftover credits online. Talk about a win-win!
