Since MDLBEAST’s debut in 2019, Saudi Arabia’s first-ever electronic music festival, and largest sonic gathering in the Middle East, has quickly went on to become the region’s own cultural engine that seeks on cementing the Kingdom’s shrine on the global stage. The festival recorded over 730,000 attendees over the course of three-intense days of energetic partying in 2021 alone and for this year’s edition, it seems that the team behind the culture-making and industry-defining event has big plans.

This morning, MDLBEAST unveiled the star-studded lineup of headliners and artists that will be taking to the stage in the outskirts of Riyadh on Dec. 1 to 3. Much like previous editions of the festival, music lovers and ravers can expect to catch a spectrum of regional and international names, who will be heading to Saudi Arabia this winter for the third edition of the event.
