History

1MX held its first two editions of the festival in the United Arab Emirates, with the inaugural event held in Dubai on November 3, 2017.[1] The festival later moved to Abu Dhabi for its second edition held on November 9, 2018.[2] In 2019, it held its first festival outside of the UAE on May 26 in Singapore, followed by a second festival hosted in the Philippines on November 22 in Quezon City.[3][4]

In 2021, 1MX held its first back-to-back festivals with a live concert in Dubai and a virtual concert in Manila, Philippines, both held on December 3.[5] The in-person festival in Dubai marked the festival's return to the UAE after a two-year break. Both festivals were streamed live through the online streaming platform KTX.ph, while the Manila festival was broadcast on television in the Philippines on a delayed basis on A2Z, where it was split into two parts broadcast on January 8 and 9, 2022.[6][7]

In 2022, the festival held its first event in Europe, hosted in the United Kingdom at Walton-on-Thames, Surrey on July 30.[8]

In 2023, 1MX held three festivals in three continents, with the first 2023 festival returning to the UK on July 8 in London.[9] It also held its first festivals in North America and Oceania, with the second 2023 festival hosted in Toronto, Canada on September 10 and the third 2023 festival hosted in Sydney, Australia on October 8.[10][11][12]
