UNTOLD, Dubai’s mega music festival, returns this November 6–9, igniting Dubai Parks and Resorts with a historic first: the global phenomenon J BALVIN, who makes his long-awaited debut in the city of the future. This live act superstar joins the lineup alongside DJ superstars Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Steve Aoki, and the artists hosted by Zamna – Eric Prydz, Gordo, Hot Since 82, Luciano, Mëstiza, Toto Chiavetta, Zamna Soundsystem, and more.
UNTOLD Dubai will transform Dubai Parks and Resorts into a mesmerising playground of music and entertainment from November 6th to 9th, 2025, in a strategic partnership with Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism. For four magical days and nights, festivalgoers will experience unforgettable moments, surrounded by over 100 international artists lighting up five spectacular stages with music, energy, and pure emotion.
The Colombian superstar and one of the most influential Latin artists of a generation, J BALVIN, has sold over 35 million records worldwide and commands billions of streams worldwide. With his signature fusion of reggaeton, Latin rhythms, and crossover hits that have conquered charts everywhere, J BALVIN will bring his explosive energy and vibrant Latino vibes to the UNTOLD Dubai mainstage, marking his first-ever performance in the UAE.
Throughout his career, J BALVIN has won 11 Billboard Latin Music Awards, five Latin GRAMMY® Awards, five MTV Video Music Awards, and seven Latin American Music Awards, and has earned four GRAMMY® nominations from the Recording Academy. Guinness World Records has recognised his cultural impact, which hailed him as a “leader of a second-generation reggaeton.”
J BALVIN is the new major headliner joining UNTOLD Dubai, with Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, and Steve Aoki for the mainstage, and iconic artists brought by Zamna, through the partnership with UNTOLD, on the Galaxy Stage: Eric Prydz, Gordo, Luciano, Hot Since 82, Mëstiza, Toto Chiavetta, Zamna Soundsystem, Andrea Oliva, and more. UNTOLD Dubai is the only place in the Middle East to see J BALVIN in 2025, a “Wonder Has No Borders” place, where reggaeton collides with electronic, house, techno, and worldwide sounds.
