SOUNDSTORM 2025: Riyadh’s Biggest Music Festival Returns With Davido, Tyla, Cardi B and Other Global Stars

SOUNDSTORM 2025 is set to take over Riyadh once again from December 11 to 13, bringing one of its strongest and most diverse lineups to date. As MDLBEAST’s flagship festival continues to grow into a global cultural force, this year’s edition promises a massive three-day celebration of music, creativity, and next-level festival production.

Headliners including Post Malone, Metro Boomin, Halsey, Benson Boone, Cardi B, and Calvin Harris anchor the bill, supported by a deep roster of international DJs, breakout stars, and genre-defining performers. SOUNDSTORM has built a reputation for fusing global superstars with rising talent from across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and beyond—and 2025 keeps that tradition alive. Festivalgoers can expect multiple stages, immersive art, unforgettable live sets, and the signature high-energy atmosphere that has made SOUNDSTORM one of the world’s fastest-growing music events.

But SOUNDSTORM isn’t just about the performances; it’s about the experience. And in 2025, the festival adds new layers of comfort and exclusivity for those wanting to elevate their weekend.

MDLBEAST brings back its premium VIB (Very Important Beast) zones, offering fans the chance to enjoy the festival with added ease, style, and access. The tiers range from VIB and VIB+ to more private, curated options like VIB Tables, which seat six and overlook the main stage with a direct, unobstructed view of the action. For larger groups, VIB Balconas provide a fully serviced, elevated viewing space for up to fifteen people—a perfect blend of comfort and spectacle above the crowd.

One of the festival’s standout features, the Storm Loop, returns as well. This elevated pathway connects all VIB areas, allowing guests to move between stages smoothly while avoiding general admission traffic—a major advantage when racing between headline sets.
