The rhythm of the city is about to get a whole lot louder as UNTOLD Dubai 2026, the emirate’s premier mega-music festival, prepares for its massive return in 2026. After a record-breaking second edition that saw over 190,000 fans descend upon Dubai Parks and Resorts last November, organizers have officially confirmed that the four-day sonic extravaganza is back, and it’s taking over the same iconic venue.
If you’re ready to witness 100+ global artists across six massive stages, here is everything you need to know about UNTOLD Dubai 2026.
The Official Dates and Venue
Mark your calendars: UNTOLD Dubai 2026 will take place from Thursday, November 5 to Sunday, November 8, 2026. The festival has officially found its home at Dubai Parks and Resorts.

While the inaugural 2024 event was held at Expo City, the shift to the theme park destination in 2025 proved to be a masterstroke, offering a unique backdrop of Hollywood-inspired rides and football-themed attractions. By securing the November dates, UNTOLD has solidified its position as the ultimate outdoor party to kick off Dubai’s winter season.
Lineup Teasers: What to Expect?
While the full roster for UNTOLD Dubai 2026 remains under wraps, organizers have hinted that the first wave of artist announcements will drop later this month. Historically, the festival has delivered an eclectic mix of:

- Global DJs: From EDM legends like Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren to underground techno icons.
- Pop & Hip-Hop Stars: Following in the footsteps of previous headliners like J Balvin and Bebe Rexha.
- Rock & Nostalgia: A diverse blend that ensures there is a stage for every musical taste.
Early Bird Tickets and Pricing
In a surprise move for 2026, UNTOLD Dubai has partnered with District by Zomato as its strategic ticketing partner. Early bird tickets are now live, offering significant savings compared to last year’s prices:
| Ticket Type | 2026 Early Bird Price | 2025 Standard Price |
| 4-Day General Access Pass | Dhs350 | Dhs550 |
| 4-Day VIP Pass (21+) | Dhs900 | Dhs1,400 |

Note: VIP passes offer exclusive access to the elevated Mainstage platform and fast-track entry.
Why You Should Book Early?
With the early bird pass priced at just Dhs350, fans can experience four nights of world-class music for less than the price of a single standard concert ticket. This pricing strategy reflects the festival’s commitment to making “mega-music” accessible to a wider audience. Given the massive attendance numbers from previous years, these limited-release passes are expected to sell out rapidly.
Whether you’re there for the EDM drops, the live rap performances, or just the “chaotic” fun of a theme park festival, UNTOLD Dubai 2026 is shaping up to be the highlight of the year.
