The first lineup announced by Soundstorm, MDLBEAST’s flagship festival, for its 2025 edition features the names of Post Malone, Benson Boone, Korolova, Loyle Carner, Major Lazer Soundsystem and Kaytranada with the six acts among the many global artists that will be in Riyadh from December 11-13.

After attracting 450,000 visitors last year, MDLBEAST’s eagerly awaited festival will be back in Riyadh this December for a three-day celebration. With a reputation of curating inclusive lineups and bringing only top-tier artists to Saudi Arabia, this year’s festival will not be any different. After dropping this year’s first names, Soundstorm 2025 promises to live up to the world class event it has become in just a few years.

It’s impossible to have missed the phenomenon that is Benson Boone this year. The breakout star has been captivating millions with his soaring vocals and raw emotion. What started as a viral sensation has turned into a chart powerhouse whose performances have captured attention worldwide.

Meanwhile, Post Malone continues to dominate global charts with his genre-blending hits and unmistakable style. More than an artist, he’s proving he’s not just an artist but a cultural force.

Also on this year’s lineup is Ukrainian DJ Korolova, who has been taking over the global electronic scene with her powerful melodic techno sets and infectious energy. Soundstorm will also be showcasing UK hip-hop artist Loyle Carner, known for his sharp lyricism and smooth flow; Major Lazer Soundsystem, who is guaranteed to light up the city of Riyadh, and multi-talented artist Kaytranada, who continues to redefine the sound of modern music, blending house, funk and hip-hop into dancefloor-ready grooves.

Expect the unexpected. With new activations, unmissable experiences and even more global stars yet to be announced, Soundstorm’s sixth edition is primed to deliver a three-day celebration of music and iconic beats that Riyadh and the world will never forget.
