UNTOLD Dubai has officially unveiled the first three headliners for its 2025 edition, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, and Steve Aoki.

UNTOLD Dubai is back for 2025 and the excitement is already building as they have just revealed the first three headline acts for the highly anticipated 2nd edition of the festival. Taking place from November 6 to 9 at the brand-new location of Dubai Parks & Resorts, the event promises to be bigger, bolder, and even more unforgettable than last year.

Among the first names announced is Martin Garrix, who will be making his debut at UNTOLD Dubai. One of the most influential and in-demand DJs in the world, Martin Garrix is known for festival anthems like ‘Animals’, ‘Scared To Be Lonely’, and ‘High On Life’. With his unmatched energy and massive following, his presence at UNTOLD marks a major moment not just for the festival, but for his fans in the region. Dubai will now get the full +x experience on one of the biggest stages the city has to offer.

Also joining the lineup is trance legend Armin van Buuren, who returns to UNTOLD Dubai after a memorable set at the inaugural edition in 2024. His previous performance included a now-iconic moment with a specially produced light and drone show that captivated thousands in attendance. Armin’s return is being seen as a homecoming of sorts, and fans of melodic trance and progressive sounds will be thrilled to see him back behind the decks in the desert.

Rounding out the first wave of headliners is none other than Steve Aoki, who, like Martin Garrix, will be performing at UNTOLD Dubai for the very first time. Steve Aoki is known as much for his party-starting tracks as he is for his high-octane stage presence, crowd surfing, and famous cake-throwing antics. His sets are equal parts music and performance art, and he’s sure to bring a wild, unforgettable atmosphere to this year’s festival.

The choice of artists highlights UNTOLD Dubai’s commitment to showcasing the biggest names in dance music while offering a diverse blend of sounds. From Martin Garrix’s progressive house, to Armin van Buuren’s soaring trance, and Steve Aoki’s genre-blending chaos, the 2025 edition is shaping up to be an eclectic celebration of electronic music at the highest level.

Set against the backdrop of Dubai Parks & Resorts, the new venue offers an even more immersive experience, with room for larger stages, interactive installations, and expanded hospitality offerings. With ticket sales already live here and more artist announcements expected in the coming weeks, UNTOLD Dubai 2025 is poised to be a must-attend event on the global festival calendar.

Together Festival has confirmed that it will be making it’s return to Bangkok this year on September 5–6.

Together Festival is officially returning to Bangkok on September 5 and 6. The festival first began in 2012 and has since grown into a key event on Thailand’s dance music calendar, known for bringing global artists to local crowds.

Over a Decade of International Acts

The first edition in 2012 featured artists like LMFAO, Afrojack, and Thaitanium. Since then, the festival has hosted a wide range of international names including Hardwell, Marshmello, Martin Garrix, Eric Prydz, Alan Walker, and many more. Together Festival has focused on bringing in acts that are relevant to fans in the region, often timing itself alongside Asian tour runs.

Highlights from 2024

The 2024 edition brought a strong mix of artists, including NWYR (W&W), Seven Lions, Alan Walker, Kayzo, Gryffin, Steve Angello, RL Grime, Knock2, and Cheat Codes. Each brought something different across two full days, giving the crowd a broad range of styles.

Cheat Codes, who performed in Thailand for the first time, spoke to EDM House Network about the experience. “We’re excited because it’s our first time in Thailand,” they said. “It’s great to be part of a lineup with different styles, like Kayzo and Steve Angello. We don’t always get to play events with such a diverse lineup.” They added that it was surreal to see familiar artists in a completely different setting: “We see Kayzo all the time back home, so it’s funny to be halfway across the world together. It’s a small world.”

Looking Ahead to 2025

This year’s festival will again take place at BITEC Bangna. Moving into early September gives fans something to look forward to as Thailand heads out of its low season. The venue has been used for several years and continues to provide the space needed for multi-artist events, including large production builds and stage rotations.

The lineup for 2025 hasn’t been announced yet, but Together Festival typically brings in artists who are currently touring in Asia, as well as a few surprise bookings that reflect recent shifts in the scene. Genres often span from house and trance to bass and vocal-heavy sets. The range of styles is part of what has helped the festival stay current without needing to chase every trend.

Why It Still Matters

Together Festival has kept going by doing the essentials well. It doesn’t rely on social media buzz or one-off gimmicks. Instead, it builds around the music and the audience that keeps coming back. For international acts, it’s one of the few stops in Thailand that remains on their radar year after year.
