Stream Armin van Buuren's double World Record-breaking set from the Burj Khalifa
Armin van Buuren's double World Record-breaking set from the Burj Khalifa is available to watch back now.
Back in June, UNTOLD announced a first-of-its-kind mega-festival in Dubai's Expo City. Normally taking place in its stomping ground of Romania, UNTOLD has grown to become one of Europe's biggest party destinations for electronic music lovers.
Now preparing its Middle East debut in February 2024, UNTOLD Dubai promises to revolutionise the region's entertainment sector and establish itself as a new jewel in the crown of Expo City.
Going big with its announcement efforts, UNTOLD joined forces with world-renowned DJ Armin Van Buuren and the Burj Khalifa, breaking two world records in the process: one for the highest performance at the top of the tallest building on the planet, and another one for using the entire building as an LED backdrop for the impressive show.
“There’s an unbelievably strong connection between myself, UNTOLD festival and its fans,” said the veteran DJ. “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.”
Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), also commented, “Hosting events like UNTOLD at Expo City Dubai is the perfect way to demonstrate the city's capability to host mega-events, further reinforcing its position as an international events hub in line with the ambition of our visionary leadership to make Dubai the best city in the world to visit, live and work in.”
