Step into a world where music and storytelling collide—MDLBEAST is launching A Thousand And One, a totally new festival inspired to blur the lines of reality while embracing the music. Taking place April 24-25, 2025 in Riyadh, this immersive two-day experience promises to transport festivalgoers into a dreamscape of Arabian wonder.
Over the years, MDLBEAST has hosted some of the biggest names in electronic music, turning Saudi Arabia into a global festival destination. Soundstorm in Riyadh has seen David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, and Zedd deliver massive sets, while Balad Beast in Jeddah has brought Peggy Gou, Black Coffee, Argy, and Lost Frequencies to the city’s historic district. With each event, MDLBEAST continues to push boundaries, blending world-class talent with immersive cultural experiences.
A Festival Built on Storytelling
A Thousand And One is more than a festival. It’s an immersive adventure where every stage, sound, and spectacle reflects creativity and culture. Focused on breaking new ground in live events, MDLBEAST continues to raise the bar for music festivals in the region. At its core, A Thousand And One is an electronic music festival. The lineup remains under wraps, but expect a world-class roster of house and techno artists. Global icons will perform alongside rising stars from the MENA region.
A Vision for the Region’s Music Scene
MDLBEAST has redefined live music in the Middle East. A Thousand And One marks another bold step in shaping the region’s festival landscape. The festival blends music with cultural storytelling, reinforcing MDLBEAST’s mission to elevate the regional music scene while honoring its heritage.
“A Thousand And One is a key example of our mission to build and curate a diverse range of music experiences that cater to different audiences and genres. Inspired by our rich heritage and culture, this new festival concept reinforces our commitment to expanding the region’s music landscape, and we can’t wait to share it with the public,” says Ramadan Alharatani, CEO of MDLBEAST.

With gates open from 4:00 PM to 4:00 AM, attendees can lose themselves in a world of music and imagination. The last entry is at 2:00 AM, ensuring enough time to explore the Arabian dreamscape.
