Just when we thought we couldn’t get any more excited about MDLBeast Soundstorm, the music festival has announced more acts (88, to be precise) that will be joining the fun. Taking place from December 16 to 19, the music extravaganza has added new artists to its line-up.
Artists including Nic Faciulli and Ricardo Villalobos have been added to the bill. While global names include Black Coffee, Chris Lake, and Fisher. As for regional talent, this includes Desertf!sh, Hats & Klaps, Jeme, and Malkin.
The bill also includes female artists from the region and around the world. The international DJ Blond:ish will perform along with Saudi talent Kayan. While local DJs, Comiscat and Biirdperson, have already been confirmed, as well as Amelie Lens, Charlotte De Witte, Eli & Fur, Nicole Moudaber, Nora En Pure and Nina Kraviz.
Talal Albahiti, chief operating officer and head of talent booking and events at MDLBeast, says, “Adding to an already stellar line-up, we’re showing our commitment to the regional scene today. We’re ecstatic to be bringing over the biggest and best names of dance music while providing our regional audiences with regional talent to enjoy. For us, that’s the future, a clear balance which showcases the best global talent alongside stars from here in the Middle East, with a unique audience loving every minute of it.”
A grand total of 150 performers have been confirmed, and this covers big-name DJs like David Guetta and Deadmau5. Guetta also is part of MDLBeast’s first residency and will be performing in the capital on November 26, and giving us a warm-up to the main four-day event.
