The music festival takes place in AlUla’s dazzling desert.
Saudi Arabia is turning up the volume. AZIMUTH 2025 in AlUla has announced its dates, and it will be running from 25 to 26 September. The festival brings together art, culture and music, all in the dazzling desert landscape. So, if you’re looking to party under the stars, here’s what you need to know.
AZIMUTH and MDLBeast have come together to create the event. This year’s theme is Until The Sun Comes Up, which is apt for the festival that takes place between sunset and sunrise. The event coincides with Saudi National Day and is also a chance to celebrate the Kingdom.
AZIMUTH 2025’s line-up has not yet been announced. The event started in 2020 and also took place in 2022, 2023 and 2024. The event has attracted local as well as international talent from across the world. Previous acts include Bruno Mars, Cairokee, Dish Dash, DJ Snake, James Blake, Jason Derulo, Jorja Smith, Peggy Gou, Thievery Corporation, Tinie Tempah, The Chainsmokers and The Kooks.
Known for its exclusive and intimate vibe, AZIMUTH 2025 will welcome just 2,500 General Admission guests and 500 VIPs, making it one of the region’s most sought-after music festivals. With past editions delivering show-stopping performances against AlUla’s dramatic rock formations, expect a powerful mix of local, regional, and international talent lighting up the desert once again.
For a limited time only, fans can grab Early Bird tickets with a 30% discount across all categories—including day passes and full weekend access for both General Admission and Premium tiers.
AZIMUTH is part of AlUla Moments calendar, which brings together festivals across art, culture, music, wellness and equestrian. Upcoming events in AlUla include AlUla Wellness Festival in October and the Ancient Kingdoms Festival in November.
AlUla Desert Blaze takes place in August and is a first-of-its-kind event in Saudi Arabia. The event includes a 5-kilometre, 10-kilometre, half-marathon and full marathon. The route passes iconic sites, from Maraya to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hegra.
