Every December, Riyadh transforms into the global capital of rhythm and creativity as Soundstorm returns for three nights of music, art, and electric energy. Since its debut in 2019, the festival has become a symbol of Saudi Arabia’s cultural evolution and one of the world’s most influential music events blending international stars, futuristic design, and unforgettable experiences.
Running from December 11 to 13, Soundstorm 2025 will light up Riyadh from 6:30 p.m. until 2 a.m. each night. The venue, located north of the city, is built as a complete “music city” combining cutting-edge technology, immersive visuals, and massive sound systems. It’s more than a concert; it’s an artistic celebration of Saudi creativity and the country’s growing role in the global entertainment scene.
Soundstorm offers several ticket categories designed to suit different preferences. The STORM pass grants general access, while STORM+ allows faster entry and prime viewing zones near the main stages. For those seeking luxury, the VIB (Very Important Beast) tier delivers a lavish experience with private lounges, exclusive perks, and a digital wallet for seamless transactions. Each level ensures every attendee enjoys the event in a way that matches their style.
The lineup unites East and West with an eclectic mix of global icons and Arab talents. Big names like Post Malone, Calvin Harris, Black Coffee, Ava Max, and Major Lazer Soundsystem will perform alongside regional stars such as Sama’ Abdulhadi and Nicole Moudaber. From EDM and house to hip-hop, the festival delivers a musical blend that captures the global pulse while honoring local artistry.
The festival’s architecture is a spectacle in itself. The Big Beast Stage, one of the largest in the world, hosts headlining acts in front of massive LED displays and synchronized pyrotechnics. The UG Stage caters to underground electronic fans, while MDLTown merges live music with art and gastronomy for a holistic cultural experience. Every stage and corner of the venue bursts with color and creativity, turning each performance into a visual and emotional journey.
Even after the final beat fades, Riyadh keeps its rhythm alive through Riyadh Season 2025–2026 featuring concerts, theater shows, fine dining, and cultural exhibitions. Visitors can explore Diriyah’s historical charm, dine at Bujairi Terrace, or visit art spaces like Naila Art Gallery, which showcases Saudi contemporary art. Soundstorm marks only the beginning of an immersive cultural adventure that celebrates the Kingdom’s dynamic and evolving identity.
Soundstorm isn’t just a music festival it’s a statement of ambition, creativity, and transformation. It reflects a Saudi Arabia that embraces innovation and celebrates diversity, where every note and light pulse tells the story of a nation redefining its future through art and rhythm.
