Ty Dolla $ign is set to headline the Esports World Cup afterparty in Riyadh
Aside from performing at AFT_r on July 18, the rapper will also be in Jeddah on July 17 for his performance at Onyx
The 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC) officially kicked off with a sold-out opening ceremony concert on Thursday (July 10) night in Riyadh, headlined by global music icon Post Malone, launching a seven-week global celebration of esports and gaming.
The American singer-songwriter started his performance with the 2019 hit “Circles”, followed by a track list of fan favourites. The crowd revelled in a mixtape of his biggest hits, singing along throughout.
For those who missed the EWC opening ceremony concert, don’t fret, as we’ve got good news for you.
AFT_r, the EWC afterparty, is returning to the capital for a second season, bringing high energy, international superstars, and late-night chaos. It has been announced that rapper Ty Dolla $ign will headline the first AFT_r concert, taking place on Friday July 18 at the ANB Arena.
