The Festival That Changed Dubai Forever
In November 2024, something unprecedented happened in Dubai’s entertainment landscape. UNTOLD—the world’s #3 festival according to DJ Mag—made its Middle East debut and drew 185,000 people over four days. The final day alone attracted 45,000 attendees, instantly making it the most talked-about festival launch in regional history.
The verdict? Best Festival of the Year at the Middle East Event Awards.
Now, UNTOLD Dubai is returning for 2025—and it’s bigger, bolder, and more legendary than ever before.
If you’re part of Dubai’s aviation community or simply a music lover looking for the experience of a lifetime, here’s everything you need to know about UNTOLD Dubai 2025, plus how to save 10% with the exclusive JetLag discount code.

Why You Should Act Now: The Urgency Factor
Let’s be transparent about timing:
🔴 Phase One pricing is LIVE NOW—but UNTOLD operates on tiered pricing. When Phase One sells out, prices increase for Phase Two, then Phase Three.
🔴 250,000 capacity means tickets will eventually sell out. Last year’s debut saw the final day reach 45,000 attendees—and that was with lower overall capacity.
🔴 10% JetLag discount is exclusive—you won’t find this code anywhere else. It’s reserved for our community.
🔴 J Balvin’s only Middle East appearance in 2025—if you miss this, you miss him entirely for the year in this region.
🔴 Payment plans available—even if you’re not ready to pay the full amount today, Tabby installments let you lock in Phase One pricing and spread the cost.
Bottom line: The longer you wait, the more expensive it gets. Phase One pricing won’t last forever.
