Central Cee, Black Eyed Peas & More to Perform in Saudi this Summer

This summer, MDLBEAST is unleashing two massive live experiences across Saudi Arabia. ONYX, held at the 12,000-capacity Onyx Arena in Jeddah, runs from July 17th to August 8th and features major acts like the Black Eyed Peas, Central Cee, Metro Boomin’, Don Diablo, R3HAB, and Meduza, alongside rising regional names like Saud & Jeed and DAFENCII.

Running in parallel, AFT_r takes over Riyadh from July 18th to August 7th during the Esports World Cup, the world’s biggest esports competition. The immersive nightlife series brings the same headline artists into a new context, where gaming and music collide inside the ANB Arena.

“As we continue to push the boundaries of entertainment in the region, this summer’s AFT_r and ONYX shows demonstrate our commitment to building cultural bridges, elevating local talent, and hosting world-class experiences across Saudi Arabia,” Ramadan Alharatani, CEO of MDLBEAST, tells SceneNoise.

Last year's Esports World Cup saw MDLBEAST take over the after party series by the likes of Jack Harlow and Wiz Khalifa, as well as regional icons like superstar Moroccan rapper ElGrandeToto, Nancy Ajram and Tamer Hosny, alongside Saudi DJ Cosmicat.
