Witness the future of live entertainment with the mega-festival from UNTOLD and DJ Armin van Buuren.
Renowned as one of the world’s largest and most awe-inspiring festivals, UNTOLD is set to make its highly anticipated Middle East debut in February 2024 at Expo City Dubai, and well before touchdown next year, it is already breaking records in spectacular fashion.
In an unprecedented collaboration with DJ Armin van Buuren, UNTOLD has shattered not one, but two world records while presenting an unimaginable performance, leaving audiences in awe.
The world-record special took place at the Burj Khalifa, where the entire structure served as a magnificent LED backdrop for the most unique show. Armin van Buuren delivered a full set of unforgettable tracks on the 149th floor of the tallest building in the world, creating an iconic and historical moment in music history.
Armin van Buuren’s performance from the Burj Khalifa launched as part of the festival announcement and is available to stream on Armin’s official YouTube channel. Viewers watched in wonder as the fusion of music and visual artistry took centre stage against the stunning backdrop of the majestic Burj Khalifa that transformed into a dynamic LED canvas, pulsating in sync with Armin’s beats.
The filming process itself was an extraordinary feat. To ensure every moment of this magnificent performance was captured flawlessly, the UNTOLD team utilised a staggering 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 metres 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 4K resolution, ensuring that viewers experienced the awe-inspiring production at its finest. The 41-minute-long video of the performance is a cinematic masterpiece, showcasing the exceptional talent and creativity of both UNTOLD and Armin van Buuren. The endeavour resulted in an astounding 20TB of digital data, proving the magnitude and scale of this spectacle.
Creating an unprecedented audio-visual spectacle solidified UNTOLD’s position as a global content creator, capable of delivering outstanding experiences to audiences worldwide. If you’ve missed the live show, check out the video on Armin’s YouTube channel.
