The Soundstorm festival in Riyadh continues to garner accolades.
The mammoth four-day gathering achieved what arguably no other popular Middle Eastern
music festival could: it made Arab pop-superstar Elissa a footnote to the proceedings. In addition
to setting the Guinness World Record for the tallest stage as part of its inaugural 2019 event and
firmly establishing the kingdom on the live music touring map.
All-star lineup of more than 150 top DJs, including Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, and Carl Cox, the
Lebanese show-presence stopper’s was relatively muted amid all the electronic music firepower
on display during a blockbuster opening day on Thursday that drew up to 180,000 people,
according to organisers.
