Dubai performance
His involvement marks the second time the South Korean sensation will take the stage in Dubai after his 2022 performance at Expo 2020 Dubai’s Jubilee Stage, in celebration of the Republic of Korea’s national day.
PSY joins a star-studded lineup, featuring Armin Van Buuren, Bebe Rexha, Ellie Goulding, G-Eazy, Major Lazer, and more.
He is the only act from South Korea set to ignite the stage at the four-day festival so far. More artists will be announced.
Over two-decade career
Psy made his official debut as a singer in 2001. He is known for his catchy dance songs and music videos with whimsical narratives and peculiar choreography. It was his 2012 single ‘Gangnam Style’, that shot to global stardom, setting new records as a Korean artist on YouTube and the Billboard charts.
After leaving YG Entertainment, the veteran K-pop star announced the launch of his own entertainment company in January 2019, declaring that he wanted to “make a playground for passionate players chasing their dreams with sweats!” It became home to numerous talented artists and performers including Hwasa, Heize, and Crush. In 2022, it debuted TNX, the first boy band of P Nation, with its first EP ‘Way Up.’
In 2022, PSY made his return to music with ninth full album, ‘Psy 9th,’ five years since his last album ‘4X2=8.’ Artists such as BTS’ Suga, Hwasa, and Crush were featured in his latest musical release.
When and where
UNTOLD Dubai will run from February 15 to 18, hosting over 100 world-renowned artists at Expo 2020 Dubai. It is unclear when PSY will take the stage.
