From Lagos to the Gulf, Rema’s rise lands him a headline slot at one of the world’s buzziest festival

Rema just hit a major flex, he’s officially booked to headline UNTOLD Dubai on Saturday, November 8, 2025.

This isn’t some side gig, he’s on main stage among massive international names like Martin Garrix and Swae Lee. UNTOLD Dubai is a four day festival in Dubai Parks and Resorts running November 6 – 9, pulling more than 100 artists across five stages. It’s ambitious. It’s global. And now Afrobeats is center stage.

Rema’s sound is more than hit songs, it’s an identity. He blends Afrobeats, trap, R&B, and the “Afrorave” energy he’s known for. That sonic fusion traveled across borders with Calm Down (his biggest crossover win) and now this booking cements how serious his international game is.

Expect fireworks. Expect visuals. Expect moments that trend beyond TikTok. Rema on the main stage isn’t just a win for him, it is a win for Afrobeats, for emerging artists, for anyone watching from their bedroom and dreaming that the beat they made might someday shake stadiums.
