Some of the top musicians in the world are scheduled to perform at a three-day event in Riyadh, including Post Malone, Bruno Mars, and DJ Khaled.
The promoters of SOUNDSTORM have dubbed it “the loudest music event in the region.” It will take place from December 1 to 3 in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh.
This is the third iteration of the MDLBEAST’s signature event, and it can accommodate up to 400,000 people. For many of the performers, this will be their first time ever performing in the Kingdom.
Riyadh event
Over the course of the three-day festival, fans can see sets from Carl Cox, Solomun, DJ Snake, and David Guetta, as well as returning DJs like worldwide superstar Marshmello.
The music event will be located in Banban, on the outskirts of Riyadh, and will include performances by artists like as Zedd and Hardwell.
In addition to Dish Dash, Vinylmode, and regional superstar DJ Aseel, the lineup also has a number of female Saudi DJs. These include Biirdperson, DJ Cosmicat, Dorar, Kayan, and Solskin.
The event will also include performances from critically acclaimed musicians like Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Michael Kiwanuka, Tiesto, and Steve Aoki, among others.
The festival will expand into musical subgenres that it has not explored in the past thanks to the participation of musicians such as Chet Faker and FKJ.
The scale of this year’s event has apparently increased by a factor of two. According to the event’s website, “more enhanced food & beverage offerings, open seating spaces to relax and parking on site for all General Admission ticket holders.”
There will be a 2022 event, and premium and “VIB” tickets are already on sale. These tickets provide holders access to VIP areas, such as stage-side viewing platforms, exclusive parking spots, a private entrance, and more.
There will be public water fountains placed strategically throughout the venue, and attendees may choose from gourmet to vegan fare for their meals.
Prices for a single day start at $29 (SAR 109), while a pass good for three days costs from $66 (SAR 305). (SAR 249).
More than 730,000 people showed out to the event last year.
