The region’s largest music festival, MDLBeast Soundstorm, is set to return to Riyadh from 12 to 14 December 2024. As one of the Middle East’s most anticipated events, it’s time to mark your calendar for a weekend of high-energy performances and unforgettable experiences.
Since its debut in 2019, MDLBeast Soundstorm has established itself as a staple on the music festival circuit, drawing both local and international talent to the outskirts of Riyadh. Often likened to the Middle East’s answer to Glastonbury, the festival swaps muddy fields for the striking desert backdrop, offering a unique setting for music lovers.
Based on previous editions, festivalgoers can expect an impressive lineup of A-list artists, jaw-dropping performances, and plenty of excitement. Past headliners have included global stars such as Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, DJ Khaled, Metallica, Post Malone, Swedish House Mafia, and Travis Scott. Additionally, a diverse range of international acts like 50 Cent, Afrojack, Busta Rhymes, David Guetta, Fat Joe, Marshmello, Rick Ross, and Will Smith have graced the stage, along with local talents such as Biirdperson, Dishdash, and Vinyl Mode.
The announcement of this year’s dates was made on MDLBeast Soundstorm’s official Instagram account. Alongside the festival, attendees can look forward to the return of MDLBeast XP Music Futures. This initiative, launched in 2021, offers a platform for industry professionals to come together for panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities.
