Riyadh, 13 December 2025 – SOUNDSTORM 2025 continued to shine on its second day following a powerful opening night, further cementing its position as one of the region’s boldest music festivals. With 14 stages across the festival grounds, day two delivered a fully immersive musical experience that reflected the diversity of the global, regional, and local music scene, offering audiences a wide range of performances to suit every taste.
As the sun began to set in the west over the city, festivalgoers flocked east toward their favorite stages. Big Beast drew the largest crowds, its 65,000-capacity dancefloor filled quickly for the mesmerizing voice of Balqees, Pitbull’s nostalgia-fueled anthems with everyone rocking bald caps for the occasion, and Anyma’s immersive audiovisual performance under Riyadh’s night sky. With 2,200 sqm of site-wide LED screens, Soundstorm enhances every set with a fully enveloping visual experience, placing fans at the heart of each performance.
Over on the western side of the festival grounds, dedicated to techno and dance, standout sets unfolded across multiple stages: DJ Tennis on Silk, Fisher on Tunnel, and BLOND:ISH on Plexi, each keeping energy levels high from start to finish. Over at 6AG, Mohamed Chaker captivated audiences with his contemporary musical approach, while Ibrahim Alhakami followed with a performance rooted in classic Khaliji tradition, with Yazeed Fahad performing on Brass. Meanwhile, hip-hop, rap, and R&B were in full force at Park with memorable performances from regional supertalent Zeyne, Miguel, and Loyle Carner.

The performances were captivating from every angle of the festival, but the viewing experience from the HER zones stood out as a remarkable addition this year. Eight dedicated areas were distributed across the entire site to provide women with comfortable, spacious viewing spots. The pathway connecting these zones extended over 2,300 meters, allowing female attendees to move smoothly between stages and enjoy the performances in a space designed especially for them.
This edition also introduced five new experiences, including a dedicated welcome center and thoughtfully designed relaxation areas to further enhance the overall experience for female visitors.
With just one day left before the festival concludes, SOUNDSTORM is gearing up to close out a record-breaking edition with an exceptional final night. It’s the last chance for fans to experience everything this music event has to offer, featuring a standout lineup that includes Cardi B, Halsey, Armin van Buuren, Adriatique, The Kid LAROI, and Tul8te.
