UNTOLD Dubai has officially announced that it is pushing back its next edition to March 19-21, 2027, moving the festival from its previously scheduled November 2026 window. The event will return to the expansive grounds of Dubai Parks™ and Resorts, a premier destination for large-scale entertainment in the region.
Organizers have framed the shift as a strategic decision to elevate the festival’s overall production value. By extending the timeline, the team aims to curate a more robust international lineup and refine the immersive stage designs that have become synonymous with the UNTOLD brand, which also produces the renowned Neversea festival and the original UNTOLD event in Romania.
Bogdan Buta, CEO and founder of UNTOLD Universe, emphasized that this delay is intended to ensure the event meets the high expectations of its global audience. “From the beginning, our ambition with UNTOLD Dubai has been to create much more than a festival,” Buta stated. “We want every edition to feel extraordinary and to raise the standard of what a large-scale music and entertainment experience can be. Securing the next edition for March 2027 gives us the opportunity to build a world-class lineup, develop epic show productions, and create the spectacular experience our fans expect from Dubai’s 1st Mega-Festival.”
Building on a Successful Foundation
The inaugural edition of UNTOLD Dubai set a high bar, attracting over 190,000 attendees across six distinct stages. With a diverse roster of over 100 artists—including heavy hitters like Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, and J Balvin—the festival successfully bridged the gap between electronic, pop, and Latin music genres. The 2027 edition aims to build upon this momentum by introducing new festival zones and entertainment concepts tailored specifically to the local and international crowd.
The venue remains a significant draw for attendees. Dubai Parks™ and Resorts offers a unique ecosystem for festival-goers, featuring attractions like MOTIONGATE™ Dubai, Real Madrid World, and the Lapita hotel, providing a comprehensive destination experience for those traveling to the city.
While further details regarding the full lineup and specific ticketing tiers are expected in the coming months, organizers have confirmed that tickets for the March 2027 dates are currently available for purchase through official channels.
