Freaks of Nature festival announces the first phase of artists for its seventh episode Freakyard, taking place across Thursday and Friday February 5-6 and 12-13 in Riyadh at the MDLBEAST Soundstorm site in Banban. The boutique electronic music and arts festival welcomes international talent including Alan Walker, Alesso, Amelie Lens, ARTBAT, Meduza, Morten, and The Freaks (Live) to Saudi Arabia alongside over 100 artists set to be unveiled in coming weeks. The special performance by The Freaks (Live) presents an immersive sound, light, and visual show as a b2b2b set by Yunite, Toby Romeo, and Yaz. Freakyard transforms the site into an industrial yet visually striking and fully immersive universe across four nights, two weekends, and three uniquely designed stages attracting more than 30,000 visitors per day.
The Mainstage exhibits captivating artistic design paired with euphoric anthems and distinctive special effects, while the Underground stage delivers a fully immersive holographic journey featuring 3D mapping technology in harmony with pulsating Techno beats. The House of Freaks stage functions as an indoor venue embracing flamboyant energy and confetti-fuelled moments, keeping crowds moving late into the night with House selections. The festival features an entertainment village showcasing the Freak Bazar, dedicated chill zones, food and beverage offerings, gaming experiences, and interactive activations including local brands, designers, and creators. Chief Freak Yazeed Al-Hashim notes this first announcement is just an introduction. “We’re starting with artists who set the tone, but the full story is much bigger. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be revealing names and experiences that reflect the scale, ambition, and creative direction of this edition. Freakyard is built to unfold, and we’re only getting started.” Early bird tickets are currently on sale for the festival, which positions Saudi Arabia as a hub for world-class electronic music events.
