Untold, one of the world's largest and most awe-inspiring festivals, is set to make its Middle East debut in February 2024 at Expo City Dubai.

 

Even before the event has even arrived, it is already breaking records in spectacular fashion. In a collaboration with legendary DJ Armin van Buuren, Untold has shattered two world records while presenting a mesmersing performance, leaving audiences in awe, said organisers. 

 

The world-record special took place at the majestic Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet, where the entire structure served as a magnificent LED backdrop for the most unique show the world has ever seen. Armin van Buuren delivered one of the most unforgettable sets on the 149th floor of this globally recognisable building, creating an iconic and historical moment in music history. Armin van Buuren’s full set from the Burj Khalifa will be launched on August 16, 7pm (Dubai time) on his official YouTube channel.

 

The filming process itself was also an extraordinary feat. To ensure every moment of this magnificent performance was captured flawlessly, the Untold team utilised a total of 18 cameras. Ten cameras were dedicated solely to capturing the glittering Burj Khalifa in all its grandeur, while eight cameras were strategically placed in the desert to showcase the stunning landscape alongside four advanced drones that soared over 830 m in the air, providing viewers with a majestic view of this mind-blowing show. A helicopter was also used to capture the magnitude of this historic event from the sky.

 

The video recordings of the event are of the highest quality, filmed in mesmerizing 4K resolution, ensuring that viewers experience the awe-inspiring production value at its finest, said organisers. The 41-minute video of the performance is a cinematic masterpiece, showcasing the exceptional talent and creativity of both Untold and the incredible Dutch DJ. 

 

In partnership with Expo City Dubai and supported by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism, Unotld Dubai is all set to establish itself as the new icon of the city. As the first of its kind in the region, Untold Dubai promises to be a fully immersive and groundbreaking experience that ignites the senses, exceeding all expectations. Open to all ages, it promises to be the definitive musical event of 2024, organisers said. -TradeArabia News Service
