“MDL Beast is more than just a festival,” said Ahmad Alammary, a Saudi DJ on the event’s staff, in a statement. “Empowered by innovation and technology in live entertainment, it is also a platform with multiple objectives including ongoing seasonal local and global events, online and radio channels, recording studios, and a non-profit foundation promoting music education and therapy. We’re confident MDL Beast will be like nothing seen before and we cannot wait to experience this transformative musical milestone.”

“I’m so proud of the fact that we’re hosting this festival in Saudi; it’s a great reflection of the Saudi audience being able to experience the music they love, both local and international, right here in Riyadh,” added Cosmicat in her own statement. “As one of the first female EDM DJs here, I’m excited to be flying the flag and representing women on the scene.”
