The historical area in Jeddah was lit last weekend. MDLBEAST, a music entertainment company based in Saudi, made the impossible happen: Our favourite musicians and genres brought back the most nostalgic sounds last Friday. For the very first time, Balad Beast was held in Jeddah’s very own Balad, creating a never-seen-before block party.
Thousands of people attended and danced the night away on 9th December. The fire event started at 4 pm and ended at 2 am. Attendees had the opportunity to enjoy every aspect of the killer festival.
The festival had five main stages, with each stage dedicated to a certain type of music genre. The Mirkaz Square was for live performances and eclectic tunes, Omda Square for hip-hop and R&B, Roshan Square and Souq Square were for underground DJ performances, meanwhile Bab Square was for big electronic performances.

The Balad Beast lineup included some of our personal faves: R3HAB, Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Salvatore Ganacci and so much more…
The event included plenty of vendors for the party-goers, whether it was food, handmade art, or fashion. All the options had you ¬ covered ¬.
And let’s not forget to mention that Balad Beast made it a *priority* to highlight Saudi talent and culture within the block party, with the inclusion of several young Saudi artists like singer, Mishaal Tamer.

Let’s just say, we’re beyond excited for next year 👏🏽.
