Dubai’s ‘mega’ music festival UNTOLD has been postponed until 19-21 March 2027.
Originally scheduled for 5-8 November 2026 at Dubai Parks and Resorts, the festival says its decision to postpone for four months will allow them to “continue to develop an even more ambitious edition, designed to deliver an elevated experience for fans travelling from the UAE and around the world.”
While no artists had been announced for UNTOLD’s original date, acts such as YUNGBLUD, Swae Lee, J Balvin, Martin Garrix and more played the festival’s 2025 edition.
The news comes shortly after Saudi Arabia’s Soundstorm festival was cancelled, which was originally set for 3-4 December 2026. No official reason for the cancellation has been released.
The cancellation of Soundstorm and UNTOLD’s postponement follows recent cancellation of other regional events, such as a UAE concert by Christina Aguilera and a Shakira-fronted festival in Abu Dhabi.
