The event unites some of the key music moments in the Riyadh calendar, including XP Music Futures, SoundStorm, and the inaugural Billboard Arabia Music Awards. The event offers a platform for local and international collaboration, celebrating Saudi music and showcasing regional talents. Riyadh Music Week will boost opportunities for both established and emerging artists and spotlight the new businesses emerging from the evolving music sector.
