The beast is back. MDLBeast Soundstorm 2024 is returning to Riyadh and will take place from 12 to 14 December and the first act of the upcoming music festival has been announced. Get ready to welcome Eminem to Saudi Arabia.

Eminem will headline MDLBeast Soundstorm in Riyadh. While the exact date of his performance hasn’t been announced yet, it will mark the rapper’s first-ever concert in Saudi Arabia.

Eminem, originally named Marshall Bruce Mathers, is a critically acclaimed rapper. He is considered one of the greatest and most influential artists in music history. Known for his raw lyrics and rapid-fire delivery, Eminem’s career spans over two decades, with numerous awards and chart-topping albums to his name. Some of his biggest hits include The Real Slim Shady, Without Me, Mockingbird and many others. It’s been a busy week for the artist known as Slim Shady, who released his 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), earlier this month.

As for MDLBeast Soundstorm, it’s the region’s biggest music festival. The festival started in 2019 and has attracted local and international talent. Taking place on the outskirts of Riyadh, the festival is like the Glastonbury of the Middle East, just in the middle of the desert rather than a muddy field.

Apart from Eminem, we’re expecting several other A-list acts, blockbuster sets, and a whole lot of fun. In the past, MDLBeast Soundstorm headliners have included Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, DJ Khaled, Metallica, Post Malone, Swedish House Mafia, and Travis Scott. International acts have included 50 Cent, Afrojack, Busta Rhymes, David Guetta, Fat Joe, Marshmello, Rick Ross, and Will Smith. Plus, local acts have included Biirdperson, Dishdash, and Vinyl Mode. 

The dates for this year’s edition were announced on MDLBeast Soundstorm’s official Instagram account. In true MDLBeast-style, we are also expecting the return of MDLBeast XP Music Futures, which brings together industry insiders. The conference launched in 2021 and includes panel discussions, workshops and networking opportunities with industry professionals. 

In 2022, MDLBeast also expanded in the region across Doha and Jeddah. MDLBeast Avaria took place in Doha and the line-up included Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Fatboy Slim, Hardwell, Rae Sremmurd, Tinie Tempah and Tyga. MDLBeast Balad Beast has taken place in Jeddah for the past years, and the line-ups have featured Busta Rhymes, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Lupe Fiasco, Major Lazer, Ty Dolla $ign and Wu-Tang Clan.
