Martin Garrix announced as first UNTOLD Dubai 2025 headliner
Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix is bringing his decks to the Dubai Parks and Resorts-based festival this November.
The festival was a massive success back in 2024, with more than 185,000 music fans attending across the weekend.
And, with Martin Garrix being the first name on the line-up, it looks set to be one of the biggest parties of the year.
Martin Garrix is no stranger to Dubai, having performed twice at Atlantis The Palm last year, but now fans will be able to enjoy him and at least 100 other artists between Thursday November 6 and Sunday November 9.

The Dutch star has topped the charts globally with several collaborations including In the Name of Love feat. Bebe Rexha, Scared to Be Lonely feat. Dua Lipa and There for You feat. Troye Sivan.
The man from Amstelveen rose to international fame with his 2013 hit Animals, which has been played more than 1.8 billion times on YouTube.
Martin Garrix has been named the top DJ in the world by readers of the prestigious DJ Mag five times, with the most recent ranking placing him at number one.
If previous appearances are anything to go by, you can expect a high-octane show featuring lasers and moving light fixtures.
In 2024, UNTOLD was a great mix of stars from the worlds of dance music, pop and K-pop, with the likes of Armin van Buuren, Ellie Goulding and PSY headlining last year.
We can expect more big names to be added to the line-up in the coming months. For this year's festival, fans were asked to provide artists and genres that they'd like to see perform in Dubai, so expect some of your favourites to be involved.
Tickets start from Dhs420 for a four-day pass, with single-day options likely to be released at a later date.
Bundles include theme park passes, friendship packs, VIP tickets and accommodations.
From Dhs420 (four-day pass). Thu Nov 6 – Sun Nov 9. Dubai Parks and Resorts. untold.ae

2025 update: Mitch Orr's Jatz and anchovies may have gone, but there's ace stuff coming out of Sydney rooftop restaurant Kiln. Beau Clugston, former Noma chef and owner of Iluka in Copenhagen, Denmark, is now the head chef of the sky-high diner found atop the Ace Hotel in Surry Hills. Clugston, who grew up in Sawtell on the New South Wales coast and worked at the world's best restaurant for six years, is drawing on his fine-dining creds as well as his love of the ocean and native Australian produce for Kiln 2.0. (Though, TBH, we do miss the Jatz.) Read on for our original review of Kiln ***** ✍️ Time Out Sydney never writes starred restaurant and bar reviews from hosted experiences – Time Out covers restaurant and bar bills, and anonymously reviews, so that readers can trust our critique. Find out more, here. When you arrive at 53 Foy Lane and find yourself double-checking directions under the glow of a neon-lit fire door, don't worry: you're in exactly the right spot. In a couple of minutes you'll be whisked down a hallway, into an elevator, and up 18 floors to a spacious glass-walled dining room. Kiln opened in October 2022, and the place feels young and bright-eyed – even though the building carries national historic significance. It's located on the site of the Tyne House brick factory, home to Australia's earliest ceramic kiln discovery, where convict Jonathan Leak (deported here for life from the UK for burglary) produced pottery way back in the 1820s. Needless to say, Kiln doesn't fare badly from this prize location. Popped atop the new 264-room Ace Hotel, the restaurant offers panoramic views of downtown Sydney, peering down on the Downing Centre and Griffiths Teas buildings, and gazing up through vast retractable skylights, punctured by the tops of the city's tallest towers. The 108-seat floor plan offers a mix of sofas, chairs and barstools, all in sight of the open kitchen and woodfired oven. The walls are draped in pale linen, custom-painted with pigment made from salvaged waste materials, which gives the room a playful feel. Chef Mitch Orr (who's racked up culinary awards at the likes of Acme and CicciaBella) describes Kiln's cuisine as 'Italian-ish', taking influence, too, from Japan and South East Asia. Menu sections are unlabelled but loosely grouped as entrées, raw, vegetables, meats and desserts. There's no right or wrong way to order; take all dishes from the same section or one from each – fun for some, a minefield for others. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kiln (@kilnsydney) The entrées are small and simple, comprising two or three ingredients each. Those that fell in love with Orr's Jatz-based creations back at Acme will be stoked to see they are making a comeback at Kiln. Here, each cracker holds one anchovy curled around a near-tablespoon of smoked butter. It's wonderfully rich and salty, an almighty hit of fish in a single bite. The tomato and ricotta tartlet, by contrast, is a light and modest mouthful – you could enjoy a whole basketful if there weren't more treats to choose from. From the raw section, don't miss the market fish crudo, a neat spiral of fish, bathed in a dipping bowl of scallion oil and housemade ponzu. It's deliciously fresh, the salt of the crudo and spring onions melding with the tangy citrus sauce. Also worth a mention is the stracciatella, which collapses in a creamy mess over grilled peach and shiso leaves – a must-have. The roasted eggplant, liberally showered with macadamias and curry leaves, is gently smoky and easily shovelled. It's worth pairing this dish, and others, with a portion of the Randall Farm Koshihikari rice, a Japanese rice often used for sushi, which is washed 15 times so it's cooked optimally to mop up any runaway sauces, oils and juices. As much as you may not wish to hear it, the dessert advice is this: consider sharing. They come big and bold. The corn ice cream – served with a firm perimeter of butter popcorn and drenched in a pool of salted caramel – is one you're unlikely to find anywhere else, and reflects Orr's palpable sense of fun and creativity. The sponge cake, topped with clotted cream and grilled apricot, is another hefty portion, without quite the visual dazzle or relentless saccharinity of the ice wine list is curated by P&V Merchants co-founder Mike Bennie, with a rotating special on tap. The intriguing cocktail menu features a Chamomile Sour with earl grey syrup, a Japanese Berry Highball with herbal bitters and blueberry and, our favourite, the Strawberry Hills Spritz, stuffed with a whopping sprig of thyme and a refreshing sweetness to accompany the evening sundown. Orr plays to his strengths at his latest venture, creating enough show-stopping flavours to match the ace location. We say come with a group of friends, order a bunch of snacks with fine drops, and settle in for a memorable evening at this new Sydney hotspot. - Reviewed March 2023
