To honor and protect the historic and unique architecture that makes Balad home, MDLBEAST is conducting thorough sound tests to ensure that the impact of high sound frequencies leaves these landmarks unscathed. Our goal is to leave Balad better than we found it.
Balad Beast, in the heart of Jeddah, is part of MDLBEAST’s approach to events – creating otherworldly music experiences in novel locations. Within the growing list of experiences include “Kokub” event held under the starry sky between the rocky mountains in AlUla, the ‘Erga’ event that turned an abandoned building into a dancing floor, and ‘Tahlia’ where an old seawater desalination plant came back to live with lights and music, and ‘Balad Social’ in Bait Zainal where the musical atmosphere mixes with Jeddah’s historic sites, and ‘Fowg’ event on the rooftop of KAFD in Riyadh.
Tickets are available on MDLBEAST’s website in two categories: General Admission tickets that allow attending the concerts and visiting the souq. The second one is VIB tickets, which provide access to exclusive viewing areas, lounges, and complimentary food.
