MDLBeast Soundstorm 2026: Dates, Tickets, and What to Know

Saudi Arabia’s biggest music festival is back in Riyadh on December 3–4, 2026, with early-bird tickets already on sale starting at SAR 269.

The Dates Are Confirmed

Soundstorm 2026 will once again take over Banban on the outskirts of Riyadh. Since launching in 2019, the festival has grown into one of the most important live music events in the region, helping put Riyadh on the global touring circuit alongside more established festival cities.

How Soundstorm Became the Region’s Biggest Festival

Past lineups give a sense of scale: previous editions have featured Bruno Mars, Cardi B, Eminem, Post Malone, Metallica, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, and Swedish House Mafia, alongside regional and local acts spanning hip-hop, pop, rock, EDM, and Arabic music. That genre range is part of what’s made it stand out from typical single-genre festivals — it’s less a dance-music event with a few extra names, and more a genuinely mixed lineup built to pull in different audiences at once.

What’s Still Unannounced

The full 2026 lineup hasn’t been revealed yet — tickets are on sale ahead of the artist announcement, which is standard for how MDLBeast has rolled out previous editions. Expect headliners to be announced in the weeks leading up to December.
