Central Cee, Black Eyed Peas & More to Perform in Saudi this Summer
Jun 24, 2025
This summer, MDLBEAST is unleashing two massive live experiences across Saudi Arabia. ONYX, held at the 12,000-capacity Onyx Arena in Jeddah, runs from July 17th to August 8th and features major acts like the Black Eyed Peas, Central Cee, Metro Boomin', Don Diablo, R3HAB, and Meduza, alongside rising regional names like Saud & Jeed and DAFENCII.
Running in parallel, AFT_r takes over Riyadh from July 18th to August 7th during the Esports World Cup, the world's biggest esports competition. The immersive nightlife series brings the same headline artists into a new context, where gaming and music collide inside the ANB Arena.
'As we continue to push the boundaries of entertainment in the region, this summer's AFT_r and ONYX shows demonstrate our commitment to building cultural bridges, elevating local talent, and hosting world-class experiences across Saudi Arabia,' Ramadan Alharatani, CEO of MDLBEAST, tells SceneNoise.
Last year's Esports World Cup saw MDLBEAST take over the after party series by the likes of Jack Harlow and Wiz Khalifa, as well as regional icons like superstar Moroccan rapper ElGrandeToto, Nancy Ajram and Tamer Hosny, alongside Saudi DJ Cosmicat.

Oualid & Fares Sokkar Join Forces on Summer Pop-Shaabi 'Bosso Alih'
Produced by YAM and Janno, the track is a flirty bop built for late-night spins and summer flings that blur into obsession. Jul 29, 2025 Moroccan-Egyptian rapper and singer Oualid has teamed up with mahraganat prodigy Fares Sokkar on a 'Bosso Alih', a flirty bop built for late-night spins and summer flings that blur into obsession. Produced by YAM and Janno, the track touches on themes of desire, longing and infatuation in a way that feels as sincere as playful. Oualid opens the song with a smooth delivery and poetic lyricism, painting his muse like a vision out of a daydream. Then Fares storms in with full-blown shaabi attitude, sharp, cheeky and completely lovestruck, flipping between cocky one-liners and raw romantic meltdowns - a counterpoint to Oualid's lowkey romanticism. At the centre of it all, the refrain 'Bosso Alih' serves as somewhat of a public service announcement, repeated with the urgency of someone spellbound. The music video for 'Bosso Alih' mirrors the track's playful nature and the artists' chemistry.
