Armin van Buuren on the Burj Khalifa is the first set at the highest height, on the tallest building in the world, and the first show to use the largest LED screen on earth.

Ranked in the world’s top five DJs for 21 years in a row, five times voted the world’s number 1 electronic music DJ and number 1 trance DJ, Armin van Buuren mixed on the 149th floor of the impressive Burj Khalifa building and together with the UNTOLD team created a memorable moment that will remain in music history. Armin van Buuren’s Burj Khalifa set can be seen from Wednesday 16 August at 18:00 on the Dutch DJ’s YouTube channel.

The filming of this show was truly spectacular and an extraordinary job for the entire team involved in making this unique project in the world. Teams from several countries worked to create the impressive footage from the desert and from the tallest building in the world.

The video team filmed 20 TerraBytes with 18 4K video cameras. 10 cameras captured incredible images of the famous Burj Khalifa building, and 8 cameras filmed the desert in the golden light of the sunset. 4 drones flew over 830 meters high and recorded images that take your breath away and show you the splendor of the world and the greatest show ever made on the whole planet with a DJ.

The historic set is 41 minutes long, a musical and cinematic masterpiece, and showcases the mastery of artist Armin van Buuren and the vision of UNTOLD’s creators. The Dutchman has a special relationship with the organizers of UNTOLD, the festival in Cluj-Napoca and the new mega festival in Dubai, of which he is an ambassador.

For 41 minutes, fans can experience a unique musical and personal journey as they watch a spectacle of music, light games, lasers and projections on the world’s tallest building and the largest LED screen ever used in some show Armin van Buuren and the organizers of UNTOLD managed to create a unique moment. From the stunning height of the Burj Khalifa, to the twists and turns of sand in the desert, to the wondrous sunset and the spectacle of nature in all its glory, Armin van Buuren’s set is an amazing journey of music and visuals into the city of the future and bordering on the most futuristic and innovative destination in the world.
