Over the past two decades, Saudi Arabia's music scene has undergone a remarkable change. Its vibrant musical culture remained underground due to a nationwide ban on public entertainment events. However, in 2016, Saudi Arabia took an important step by creating the General Entertainment Authority and opening up public visibility for private events for the first time ever in history.

Soundstorm 2019: A Cultural Revolution in Riyadh

MDLBEAST’s Soundstorm 2019 was an extraordinary three-day music festival in Riyadh, serving as a symbolic event in this new era and becoming one of the largest gatherings of like-minded individuals. It provided an opportunity for connection, dancing, celebration, and self-expression. Soundstorm surpassed being merely an entertainment hub in Saudi Arabia; it acted as a cultural catalyst that sparked a revolution among Saudi Arabian youth while making a profound impact on the music and nightlife industries.

At the forefront of this cultural movement stands MDLBEAST - a brand synonymous with creativity, culture, and innovation in Saudi Arabia's music ecosystem and economy. MDLBEAST has pioneered multi-layered platforms that showcase fresh talent while encouraging cultural exchange.
