Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 24th, because this one-of-a-kind event is the exclusive world premiere and promises a night that’s way more than just your average concert.
Expect an immersive, multi-sensory experience that blends music, light, and storytelling in ways that will transport you to another dimension.
Get Ready for Armin Van Buuren’s ‘Pillars of Creation’ in Ras Al Khaimah
A Cosmic Experience in the Desert
The Pillars of Creation show is part of a much bigger picture: it’s the debut event of the upcoming Seven Wonders series, which will kick off in 2025.
The concept? Seven world-class artists, seven outdoor locations, and seven weeks of unforgettable performances—all happening across Ras Al Khaimah’s stunning landscapes.
Think pristine beaches, mystical deserts, and the towering Jebel Jais mountain. But first, Armin van Buuren is set to take us on a journey through space and time with trance beats that evolve like the stars themselves.
“This show will be a completely revolutionary experience,” van Buuren explains. “The audience will be at the heart of an ever-evolving cosmos as I fuse trance with multiple genres to create a multi-dimensional journey blending the scientific wonder of space with human emotion.”
