Following the successful launch of MDLBEAST’s inaugural annual event in 2019, that attracted 400,000 people over three days, the festival has quickly established itself as a global creative platform setting the tone for music, art, and culture in the Middle East. Last year, MDLBEAST hosted its music festival digitally because of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
