The third successful MDLBEAST Festival will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the weekend of December 1–3.
The majority of the lineup has already been confirmed, and it has DJs of that caliber like Marshmello, Carl Cox, Solomun, DJ Snake, David Guetta, Eric Prydz, Hot Since 82, Ricardo Villalobos, Jamie Jones, Solardo, and many others.
The four-day festival last year included a heavy house, techno, and EDM presence; this year, they’ve expanded to feature musicians from pop, hip-hop, R&B, and other genres. In order to achieve this, they have announced a notable group of A-list performers, including Post Malone, Bruno Mars, DJ Khaled, and Michael Kiwanuka.
“Saudi Arabia’s music culture has been blooming for the past 20 years behind closed doors,” stated Talal Albahiti, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Talent Booking at MDLBEAST. We progressively blow these doors wide open with each SOUND STORM edition. It’s extraordinarily moving to watch music fans embrace this new reality in a setting that upholds the greatest standards in musical performance.
“At MDLBEAST, talent is at the center of everything we do. We must focus our efforts on promoting emerging talent from the entire region in addition to inviting world-famous superstars to the Kingdom. The artists have provided excellent feedback thus far. The excitement is genuine, and it’s motivating us to stage an even bigger and greater performance in 2022 for the benefit of everyone on earth.
There were more than 150 acts on the SOUND STORM lineup from the previous year, and you can bet there will be more this time around.
