The Design of SoundStorm MDLBEAST Festival supported by PRG

December’s rendition of the SoundStorm MDLBEAST festival in Riyadh continued to set standards for excellence in event design while also representing a groundbreaking cultural shift for Saudi Arabia. The entire festival spread out over a 5.5 km purpose-built site housing eight dynamic stages where more than 150 acts performed over three days for more than 450,000 visitors.
