The live music event is happening next week

Looking for a great rap concert to enjoy? Egypt’s Wegz, Pablo and Afroto will be taking the Riyadh Season stage.

Wegz, Pablo and Afroto will light up the Abu Bakr Salem Theater on Monday March 14. This is the first concert which will bring together three of the most popular rappers in the region.

Riyadh Season is part of the countrywide Saudi Seasons festival initiative, which includes Sharqiyah Season in March and Jeddah Season in June. Riyadh Season launched in 2019 and is the biggest festival of its kind in the Middle East.

After skipping an edition in 2020, Riyadh Season has returned for the second time. The festival covers an impressive 5.4 million square metres and 14 districts, plus there are dedicated zones with their own distinct themes and activities.

Riyadh Season has updated its COVID procedures following the Kingdom dropping most COVID-19 restrictions recently. In line with the changes, Riyadh Season is returning to full capacity and welcoming non-masked visitors at full capacity.

Some COVID-19 preventative measures still remain in place. Face masks are no longer required in open areas, but it is still mandatory to wear them in closed places.

Get ready for some fun, Riyadh.
