Eternally preoccupied with bringing the best, and only the best, to perform in Saudi Arabia, the news of Kid Cudi’s concert in Riyadh comes as another fitting addition to the Kingdom’s ambitious cultural calendar. The forthcoming gig, which is slated to take place on Aug. 25, will mark the end of the E-Sports World Cup (EWC), which has been underway in the Gulf country’s capital since July 3.

Closing off the massive e-sports tournament, the American rapper will see other internationally acclaimed artists join him on stage, including Miami-born DJ Steve Aoki and Dutch-Iranian singer Sevdaliza. Powered by MDLBEAST, in collaboration with EWC, the concert promises to deliver an unforgettable finale to a landmark event, showcasing the Kingdom’s expanding influence and magnetic attraction in the realm of global entertainment.
However, this won’t be the tournament’s first satellite event, as over the past month, a series of high-profile concerts have preceded it. Guest performers so far have included the likes of American hip-hop stars like Wiz Khalifa, Gunna, and Jack Harlow, French-born Algerian sensation DJ Snake, and Egypt’s ElGrandeToto.
The event will be held at The Venue, BLVD Riyadh City, with doors opening at 7 P.M. Tickets are already on sale, starting at $27.
