Meet the DJ's - Saudi Arabia's largest pop music festival

Saudi Arabia is gearing up to host The MDL Beast, the largest pop music festival in its history, featuring DJs David Guetta and Martin Garrix.

The Kingdom has been staging pop concerts and other cultural shows since last year, as part of a dramatic social reform program that has also seen women allowed to drive, cinemas opened, tourism visas introduced, dress codes relaxed and restrictions on live music and drama removed.

The MDL Beast festival is scheduled for December 19 to 21 in Banban, a district in north Riyadh. Several Twitter users expressed their excitement about the festival.

About ten cinema halls will be opened in Medina, isn't that an expression of MBS obscenity? May Allah punish MBS for this.

Why do people want to adopt western cultures forgetting their own cultures? Can't people develop something endemic? Music? How about nasheeds?

music festival? How about Scientific festival, aviation, education etc.

[rakibhasan-ncwr]

I never thought that obscenity would come to the motherland of our Prophet. If Allah does not guide them, destroy them, Amen.🤲Pharaoh could not stand before Allah, nor could MBS. Because who is greater planner than Allah.

[Ayas]

Astagfirullah, these kinds of things bring shame to the holy lands, people who should be representing the ummah allow this sort of nonsense in our holy land. Shame on you house of saud.

I would like to work as acorrespondent in case U need one in Baghdad.

[BaibonnDilangalenSangid-fvqk]

Stupid woman, where is Arabic culture??? Aren't you ashamed Arabic language is reduced to slaves vernavular from elite scietific, academic language???

I'd be happy seeing endemic Arabic music, else this.one that you're doing is nothing but a 3td rate copycat garbage.

Grow your innate and unique Saudi Arabic culture, respect yourself and identity as a budding Arabic artist.
How about looking at Korean and Japanese artists - - - breaking the world of Western Pop Culture with their own classic Korean style.

That's what we call Korean originality.

Of course, i understand where you guys are coming, No Arabic Roots, do you even know your real history? Poor thing, foreign invasion of the mind is worst than invasion of the land.
