Gearing up for its third edition, AZIMUTH festival, which made its debut just last year at the heart of former Nabatean kingdom AlUla, is calling on some of the world’s most beloved and listened-to artists to take to the stage in the tourist hotspot next month.
Brought to life by Saudi entertainment powerhouse MDLBEAST, the creative force behind one of the Middle East’s largest music festivals that goes by the same name, AZIMUTH is all set to relaunch the AlUla Moments calendar, the desert city’s own series of flagship events, while soundtracking the breathtaking landscape with electrifying beats and uplifting vibes.
Coinciding with the Saudi National Day long weekend over Sept. 21-22 in Wadi AlFann— or ‘Valley of the Arts’ in English, a canon in AlUla’s desert — the pioneering two-day event in the northwestern region of the Gulf State is expected to once again turn into a real melting-pot of the culture, bringing a unique cocktail of music, art, and food to lucky ticket holders that are primed for an unforgettable experience.
For this year’s iteration, guests will be able to tap toes and move hips to some of the scene’s most exciting names, with performances from 25 local and international acts, including Serbian-Palestinian-Algerian music sensation Saint Levant, critically acclaimed British singer Jorja Smith, German-Syrian DJs Shkoon, as well as Saudi duo Dish Dash, resulting in a line up catering to all tastes and preference so long as good energy serves as fuel to the festival’s atmosphere.

“Our dedication to creating events that leave a lasting impact goes hand in hand with our passion for uniting people through music, art, and culture,” said Talal Albahiti, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Talent Booking at MDLBEAST. “The synergy between AlUla and MDLBEAST is rooted in our shared passion for pushing creative boundaries and expanding the horizons of artistic expression.”
Echoing on his statement, Phillip Jones, Chief Tourism Officer of the Royal Commission for AlUla, added: “Through this music gathering, we are reviving the spirit of creativity and music in AlUla and offering an unforgettable experience for visitors from around the world. It’s here where culture, heritage, and creativity all converge, offering sophisticated, immersive destination experiences.”
