Afrojack
Afrojack (real name Nick Leonardus van de Wall) hails from Holland. He went from learning graphic design to playing in local pubs. Today, he is one of the highest-earning DJs in the world, and has won a Grammy Award and MTV Europe Music Award. Over his career, he has collaborated with artists including David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Missy Elliott. This won’t be the first time you can catch Afrojack in Saudi Arabia, as he previously performed at MDLBeast Soundstorm. Popular in the kingdom, he is loved for his high-energy shows, spinning hit after hit. We’re hoping he plays his famous numbers including Ten Feet Tall, Turn up the Speaker and Unstoppable.


Charlie Puth
Charlie hails from New Jersey, United States, and has a Gen Z origin story in show business. He caught the public’s attention with his YouTube channel, Charlie’s Vlogs. In 2015, he released his debut single Marvin Gaye, which was a duet with Meghan Trainor. In the same year, See You Again with Wiz Khalifa was at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts for 12 consecutive weeks. Over his career, Charlie Puth has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year. So, when he sings in Saudi, we’re hoping that he belts out his hits songs including Attention, How Long, Light Switch and We Don’t Talk Anymore.


Swedish House Mafia
Swedish House Mafia officially formed in 2008 and consist of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. Famous for their EDM meets progressive house music sounds, they have notched up two Grammy Award nominations and performed around the world. Plus, they are regulars in the region, as they were headliners at last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concerts. Over their career, Swedish House Mafia have worked with the likes of Pharrell Williams, Tinie Tempah and The Weeknd. We’re hoping they play their hit singles including the dance floor anthem Don’t You Worry Child, plus Lifetime and Moth To A Flame.
