Sporting events and concerts just get each other – the adrenaline, the crowd, the lights – and LIV Golf Riyadh is once again leaning all the way in.
Ahead of ROSHN Group LIV Golf Riyadh, the 2026 season opener landing in the capital as part of Riyadh Season from Wednesday February 4 to Saturday February 7 at Riyadh Golf Club, LIV Golf has revealed a seriously stacked concert line-up.

Performances will take place following play each evening, between 11pm and 1.10am, with one headline act on Wednesday and two acts per night from Thursday through Saturday, creating a festival atmosphere that extends well beyond the final putt.
Here are the headliners
Wednesday February 4: The after-play concert will begin on Wednesday evening with a late-night set from underground favourite, DJ Pawsa, performing from the Fan Village stage from 10.30pm. Electronic music fans can look forward to his distinctive underground house sound, built around club favourites Groove Control and Collect The Commas.
Thursday February 5: Multi-platinum DJ and producer R3HAB, known worldwide for his crossover dance anthems and no stranger to Saudi Arabia, will kick off the evening on stage. This is followed by Syrian-born Arabic pop sensation Alshami.
Rising quickly to the top by blending traditional Turkish sounds with modern hip-hop, Alshami is one of the Arab world’s most-streamed artists and a multi-award winner, including several Billboard Arabia Music Awards for Top Levantine Song and Artist of the Year – Levantine Dialect.
Friday February 6: Friday lights up with Kuwait’s Miami Band, whose infectious Khaleeji pop blends traditional Gulf vibes with modern beats – a live-energy staple since the ’90s with hits like Bastans and Ashou Ashou.
The party continues to escalate as headliners Tyga and Akon take the stage, turning Riyadh Golf Club into a global hip-hop playground. Akon makes his return to Saudi Arabia as a multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated icon whose hits include Smack That, Lonely, and Don’t Matter, and whose collaborations range from Michael Jackson to Lady Gaga.
Tyga follows with his chart-topping catalogue – Rack City, Taste, Swish – demonstrating why he remains one of hip-hop’s most unstoppable global performers.
Saturday February 7: The party reaches its grand finale with Lebanese superstar Myriam Fares, closing out the entertainment schedule in true festival fashion.
Known throughout the Arab world as the “Queen of the Stage,” Fares will captivate audiences with her signature choreography and high-energy performances. With record-breaking hits like Goumi and Tukoh Taka – the official 2022 FIFA World Cup single in collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Maluma – she delivers the grand finale at Riyadh Golf Club, ensuring the 2026 LIV Golf Riyadh nights go out with a bang.
Golf fans can expect a stellar field
Meanwhile, on the course, the 2026 tournament brings together 57 players from 16 countries, headlined by LIV Golf Riyadh’s defending individual champion Adrian Meronk of Poland (Cleeks Golf Club) and reigning team champions Legion XIII, who return to Riyadh following a dominant 2025 season that included five team victories.
Captain Jon Rahm leads the team once again alongside Tom McKibbin, Caleb Surratt and Tyrrell Hatton as they look to set the tone for another year of elite individual and team competition.
The field also features one of the strongest collections of major champions in world golf, including Bryson DeChambeau (Captain, Crushers GC), Dustin Johnson (Captain, 4Aces GC), Phil Mickelson (Captain, HyFlyers GC), Sergio Garcia (Captain, Fireballs GC), Cam Smith (Captain, Ripper GC), Patrick Reed (4Aces GC), Martin Kaymer (Captain, Cleeks Golf Club), Bubba Watson (Captain, RangeGoats GC) and Louis Oosthuizen (Captain, Stinger GC).
It’s all fun and games
