If you didn’t already know, all of us here at GRAZIA are counting down the days to MDLBEAST Soundstorm (just check our Instagram stories).

Furthering our excitement for the most highly anticipated music festival in the Middle East, the headlining act has just been revealed and let’s just say we’re really, well, happy about it.

Musical sensation Pharrell Williams will take to the stage in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as one of the headliners at MDLBEAST Soundstorm for 2023.

“Witness Pharrell & Phriends light up the stage for ‘Something in the Desert’ at SS23 along with 200+ other artists,” MDLBEAST announced via their official Instagram page, adding there will be more headliner unveilings “coming soon”.

Known for his hit songs including Happy, Get Lucky, and Drop It Like It’s Hot, Pharrell & Phriends will be taking to the stage on December 15, the second official day of MLDBEAST Soundstorm.

WHAT IS MDLBEAST?

MDLBEAST Soundstorm was first launched in 2019 in Riyadh with the aim to be “the most stellar DJ lineup Saudi Arabia has ever seen”. It’s safe to say that it’s surpassed that, becoming known on the global music stage and the must-visit festival in the Middle East. Having hosted over 730,000 guests, there’s no doubt 2023 is going to serve in the music department. This year, MDLBEAST Soundstorm will take place from December 14 until December 16 in Saudi’s capital city Riyadh.
