Another attraction will be Bebe Rexha, an American pop icon who constantly breaks the mould on stage to redefine music norms. During her years of rocking the global melodic scene, she added her special touch to alternative rock, R&B, country, rock, and plenty more genres.
UNTOLD Dubai is also bringing the magical Major Lazer Soundsystem, a Jamaican-American trio including the special artists of Diplo, Walshy Fire, and Ape Drums. This trio burst onto the scene 15 years ago and has been producing innovative hits ever since. With their niche in electronic dance music and DJing, the audience should put seatbelts on their ears as they get ready for the ultimate musical sensation.
German musician, producer of electronic music, and actor, Paul Kalkbrenner, will add a further element of intrigue to proceedings as he breaks down different tracks and then reassembles them onstage. After several chart-topping albums, amassing millions of fans and headlining festival mainstages around the world he has become one of techno’s biggest superstars. Topping off the bumper list of already confirmed headliners is the one and only American rapper G-Eazy. Well known for his hit singles “Me, Myself & I”, “No Limit”, and “I Mean It”, the chart topping hitmaker will bring a more edgy vibe to the festival with his hip hop beats and engaging lyrics. These are only the first names for UNTOLD, Dubai’s First Mega Festival.
