Bald caps at the ready, Mr Worldwide is returning to the capital, with R&B sensation Miguel also set to perform
This December, big names in the music business are making their way to Riyadh for the sixth edition of Soundstorm.
And the latest artists being announced are global superstar Pitbull and R&B sensation Miguel – joining Tyla, Post Malone, Benson Boone, The Kid Laroi, Metro Boomin, DJ Snake, DJ Black Coffee, Halsey, DJ Calvin Harris, and more in this year’s line-up.
Pitbull, who is affectionately known as ‘Mr Worldwide’ to fans, is known for hits including ‘Fireball’, Hotel Room Service, ‘Don’t Stop The Party’, ‘Timber’, and ‘Give Me Everything’ – having sold more than 100 million singles across the globe.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper, singer, songwriter and actor is no stranger to Saudi Arabia, having performed at the Diriyah Music Festival in 2019, the opening parade of Riyadh Season 2021, and more.
He has become somewhat of a legend since his 2009 banger ‘I Know You Want Me’, propelling him to fame. With the perfect recipe to take any party up a notch, Pitbull’s songs have become a must on any playlist – and they’ll stick around in your head afterwards, too.
Earlier this year, fans caused a viral storm during his high-energy European tour with tens of thousands of them wearing bald caps and dubbing themselves “The Bald E’s” in honour of his signature look and larger-than-life persona.
So, if you’re already planning to be at Soundstorm 2025, prepare yourself for an influx of people donning suits, aviators and, most importantly, bald caps. We’re expecting Pitbull to bring the ultimate party to Banban with a load of absolute bangers.
The vibe just got smoother – Miguel joins the bill
Expect soulful melodies and high-energy hits as R&B phenom Miguel joins an already star-studded line-up. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has carved out his own, genre-bending lane in R&B.

Often referred to as a once-in-a-generation talent, Miguel captivates his fans through his emotive songwriting, rich production, and powerful live performances.
The sweet and seductive R&B vocals of Miguel have been entrancing audiences for years. His most well-known songs, like ‘Adorn’, ‘Sky Walker’ (feat. Travis Scott), and ‘Sure Thing’, demonstrate his aptitude at fusing elements of pop and hip-hop with modern R&B. Another excellent song is ‘Come Through and Chill’ (feat. J. Cole & Salaam Remi), which has Miguel’s distinctive vocals with a chill groove.
Smooth melodies, soulful vocals, and accessible lyrics are hallmarks of Miguel’s songs, which have elevated him to a cult status in the R&B music community. Fans will be pleased to know that he will be releasing his fifth album, CAOS, on October 23.
