Tickets are now on sale for A Thousand and One music festival in Riyadh

The fairy-tale-inspired music festival returns this October with two nights, four immersive stages, and more than 70 artists

After making its debut last April, A Thousand and One is ready to write its next chapter.

MDLBeast’s immersive music festival is officially returning to Riyadh, with tickets now on sale for its newly announced dates on Thursday October 29 and Friday October 30.

Originally scheduled for April, the festival has been moved to October, giving music fans something to look forward to as Saudi Arabia’s outdoor events season begins.

Taking over Banban once again, A Thousand and One promises two nights where electronic music meets fantasy. Inspired by the tales of One Thousand and One Nights, the festival becomes a storybook world, where each stage has its own theme, atmosphere and soundtrack.

This year’s edition promises more than 70 artists across multiple immersive stages, each offering its own atmosphere and musical journey. From international electronic acts to rising regional talent, the full lineup and stage concepts are still under wraps, giving fans even more to look forward to.

If last year’s festival is anything to go by, the stage designs will be just as much of a talking point as the music. The 2025 edition featured four themed stages. Qafilah drew inspiration from a travelling desert caravan, Qasr recreated the grandeur of a royal palace, Bustan was an enchanted oasis, and Sahaab appeared to float above the festival like a cloud in the night sky.
