This festival brings an immersive day of music, arts and wellness to NOFA
A day full of positive vibes and great music…
With festival season fast approaching, and if you’re looking for an escape to the outdoors, a wellness festival in a gorgeous, serene, African-inspired wellness haven could be the answer.
Raw Escapes Experiences has announced details of an exciting new event coming to Riyadh next weekend. Set amid the picturesque setting of Nofa Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Resort, an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Ikoni Festival will fuse music, arts, and wellness in a one-day spectacular.
Running for the very first time on Friday October 18, this festival makes excellent use of the grounds, orbiting around the resort’s stunning property, transforming it into an immersive hub of live music by local and international artists and DJs and much more.
Begin your journey with a bonfire under the stars while reconnecting with nature. Visual artists, wellness expos, workshops, food trucks, retail pop-ups, and interactive performances under the full moon are all on the agenda, too.
This new generation of festivals centres around rejuvenating mind, body, and spirit, alongside great music and delicious food.
What to expect at the Ikoni Festival
Designed as an immersive experience, attendees will be treated to a festival experience like no other; from immaculately designed gardens, walkways and entertainment areas to the deep relaxation of wellness zones.
The festival will be a unique gathering of its kind, uniting conscious music and art with the deeply rejuvenating experience of the award-winning Nofa Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Resort, located about an hour’s drive out of the city centre.

On the music front, the line-up of conscious musicians includes Leonardo Prakash (harmonic escape music that aims to amalgamate rhythms and sounds of the world), Izadora (electronic haven in which she bonds traditional and electronic music through folktronica, nu cumbia and organic house), and none other than Dunes Music (known for their percussive beats, a unique fusion of electronic music with live percussions and instrumental tunes).
Other festival highlights that guests can enjoy are yoga, sound healing, an animal safari and much more.
Bridging a unique natural setting, an ethos of sustainability and wellness activities with an intimate capacity, the Ikoni Festival is a must-attend to keep you feeling cool, calm and collected all throughout the rest of 2024.
Tickets to explore Ikoni Festival’s music, arts, and wellness offerings are available for SAR480 per person or SAR820 per couple. Accommodation is not included in your ticket.
