Black Coffee, Halsey and Calvin Harris added to Soundstorm 2025 line-up
The storm is coming
Partygoers, you’ll want to spend this December at Soundstorm.
Maestro of house, DJ Black Coffee, electro-pop singer Halsey, and superstar DJ Calvin Harris have been added to the bill for Soundstorm 2025, which will be held from Thursday December 11 to Saturday December 13.
Black Coffee
The stalwart South African DJ has been in Saudi Arabia a few times, and he is set to make his return to Banban, Riyadh this December. Black Coffee has been a pioneer of the kwaito genre, with a signature jazzy blend of African beats with an ethereal kind of house music vibe.
The Grammy Award-winning DJ quickly became a regular feature on the global circuit and has released countless successful albums and singles. He has also worked alongside countless international artists and among his many accolades, was crowned Best International DJ at the 2015 BET Awards.
Halsey
Time to pull your concert buddies closer because Halsey will unlock your nostalgic memories at Soundstorm 2025. Seemingly an overnight success, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Halsey broke into the music scene after uploading her single Ghost to SoundCloud, which led to the song charting, hitting the radio and landed Halsey a label deal.
Her emotive blend of pop, electronic and alternative rock songs mixed with her distinctive voice and personal lyrics about her struggles with mental health and relationships continue to top the charts. Known for her hit single collaborations with artists such as The Chainsmokers for Closer and Benny Blanco and Khalid for Eastside, Halsey’s third studio album became her best-selling album.
Calvin Harris
…and he’s back. Not sure about you, but this is who we’re coming for at Soundstorm 2025. We’re always so ready for superstar producer and DJ Calvin Harris. EDM fans can expect to hear Calvin’s setlist packed with an arsenal of exhilarating dance music, including his chart-topping worldwide hits.
Calvin has shattered world records and ruled global charts, amassing over 56 billion combined audio and video streams and ranking among the most-watched artists on YouTube. Having had massive collaborations with some of the biggest and most exciting artists in the world over the past decade including Rihanna, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande, Calvin’s trajectory over the past decade sees no sign of slowing down.
