Loop Earplugs and Tomorrowland's new collab is a stylish answer to hearing protection - the concert accessory I don't leave home without
As a music festival goer and concert lover, protecting my ears is the utmost priority when music is booming around me. I have a lot of friends who've suffered hearing loss in their 20s because of consistently being in the mosh pit at big music festivals — and not carrying any hearing protection. Loop earplugs have been a lifesaver for me, protecting my ears all these years — and now they've launched a collab with one of my favorite music festivals, Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland x Loop Experience 2 (Holographic Black) $39.95 Shop these stylish earplugs and keep your ears safe during loud concerts. They come with four eartips and are built to be reusable. Shop now! Shop The epic Belgian festival has been around since 2005, and this year, fans can catch their favorite DJs including Alok, John Summit, and R3hab at Tomorrowland through July 15 to July 17 or on weekend two: July 25 to July 27. The new earplugs come in two shades: Holographic Ruby or Holographic Black. And if you look closely enough, you'll see the words Live, Love, Unite inscribed on them — Tomorrowland's motto and slogan. If you're heading out to groove, dance, and stay up all night with your favorite music artists, a pair of Loop earplu gs are a must. These holographic buds aren't just an accessory to your neon festival outfits — they truly keep your ears safe. They filter out damaging sound (17 dB of SNR sound to be exact) and let you hear each banger without the ringing in your ears. Unlike traditional earbuds, the Loop Experience 2 won't dampen your favorite beats or blur them out — in fact, they'll enhance the clarity of your EDM tracks while keeping your ears protected. Since there are four ear tip sizes available, you'll easily be able to find the right fit. The earbuds are reusable too, saving you the hassle of buying a new pair every time you get concert tickets. My favorite part though? They're festival-proof. This means no matter how much you jump, pump your head back and forth, or run around the festival grounds at midnight, these earplugs are staying in. They're surprisingly comfortable too, and won't hurt your ears or cause any discomfort. Shop the brand-new Loops and Tomorrowland collaboration in two holographic colors now, and get ready to dance all night at your upcoming festival — no more clogged, blocked, or ringing ears after a fun night out.

A Thousand and One festival amplifies the Kingdom's music scene
RIYADH: Crowds from across the world flocked to attend A Thousand and One, MDLBEAST's new festival concept, where global musicians like DJ Snake and R3hab have come to Saudi Arabia to perform. The dance music festival is equipped with four stages — Sahaab, Bustan, Qafilah, and Qasr — each designed with their own sub-theme under the main concept, inspired by the timeless folktale. 'I think (the theme) is really smart. It's a good way to attract Saudi people as well as the expats,' Irma Saric from Bosnia told Arab News. She came to the festival alongside her friend, Ifeta Selimovic. The two Bosnians have been living in Saudi Arabia for several years and were excited to see a DJ from their home country, Salvatore Ganacci, on stage. 'What attracted me the most is the diversity in techno music and how there's a mix of culture, but yet it's so modern here … The music scene in Saudi is amazing. I love everything about it. I love the diversity the most. I love how they're also trying to mix Arabic music with modern beats,' Saric told Arab News. Selimovic is a regular attendee of MDLBEAST's events, including its flagship Soundstorm festival, and was excited to see DJ Snake and Turkish DJ Mahmut Orhan alongside Ganacci. 'I love the DJs a lot, the atmosphere, how they made this whole concert and everything. And I love, also, 'her' zone, because it's only us girls gathering and having fun … You are in your own world. You are just focusing on the music, and that's it, and it's not too crowded,' she told Arab News. Located in Banban, where Soundstorm's underground section took place, the four stages have transformed into magical, folkloric sets. The Qasr stage is inspired by a sultan's palace with Arabian architecture, where electronic and experimental sounds take over; the Qafilah stage echoed the spirit of camel caravans and Saudi Arabia's rich trading heritage, with tech house and melodic beats; the Bustan stage is a lush, immersive garden experience inspired by the ancient 'Kalila Wa Dimna' tales, featuring a diverse mix of genres; while the Sahaab stage was inspired by Aladdin's flying carpet. The festival also features the Bizarre Bazaar, a reimagined Middle Eastern souq where music, food, art, and culture collide. 'These kinds of festivals only happen, like, every three months, so I love to come and dance and have fun,' Saudi attendee Fares Alkudsi, who came especially for DJ Snake, said. 'The music scene has been good here ever since, but before 2019 there was not much attention to it, so now they're giving a lot of attention to the youth, they're giving a lot of attention to the artists that we love, so it's a good thing for us.' William Shakkour, from Syria but born and raised in Saudi Arabia, decided to attend the festival on a whim, and said it reminded him of the first edition of Soundstorm. 'It was basic, simple, and fantastic, so I think in the next versions, it (A Thousand and One) will be better than this one,' he told Arab News. 'Saudi Arabia has become an icon for music festivals, for the Red Sea Festival, for cinemas, for everything. I think in the near future, it will be the icon of the Middle East in different ways, like cinema, music festivals, and all the other things (in) entertainment,' he said. Vinyl Mode has been a part of the underground music scene for two decades, where many local DJs convened for the love of music, and he has since performed on countless stages during his career. On Thursday, he closed off the Sahaab stage with his house music set. 'I am excited because it's a very new concept. We are used to the massive production at the end of the year, and I have been always thinking, 'well, you know, what if we do something mid-year,' and it's happening, but with style,' he told Arab News. 'What makes it special is that it's a new moment, a new feeling, a new experience.' Hyped-up Saudi crowds have become a testament to the strength and growth of the music landscape in the region. 'The people (are) loving the music, the people getting more, learning more, being more educated. So I believe we are very lucky to be a part of this movement,' he said.
