Assembling the music industry’s brightest minds for the XP Music Futures three-day event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with over 100 musical performances, was not for the faint-hearted. But we love a challenge.
Alongside building an event for aspiring musical creatives, MDLBEAST wanted to celebrate the tangible progress being made in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region while offering a platform that celebrated creative entrepreneurship.
The result was XP Music Futures, a multi-genre music conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. For three days and three nights, XP Music Futures 2022 attendees exchanged ideas and immersed themselves in scintillating performances. As the sun set, regional artists lit up the night on seven stages and in three warehouses with over 100 musical performances.

MDLBEAST’s ambitious annual XP Music Futures conference brought brands, labels, artists, and key players together for candid conversations and hands-on workshops that inspired discovery. With 222 Speakers and 76 sessions, artists could attend writers’ workshops, sift through vinyl, catch a keynote, or take in a panel discussion about the evolving industry. Sound rooms immersed guests in music, poses were struck in the album cover photo booth, and guests relaxed in neon playgrounds. Intensive professional training sessions helped XP Music Futures attendees hone their skills and showcase their star power with a talent competition. Spotify’s drum circles and live graffiti layered in a level of energy and artistry that sent the experience stratospheric.
XP Music Futures built the foundation for the music industry to thrive in Saudi Arabia, earning extensive media coverage from publications like IQ Magazine and Cosmopolitan Middle East.
