DUBAI: Riyadh Music Week 2025 begins on Dec. 4, bringing together music industry representatives and partners from across a variety of sectors.
The event, which runs until Dec. 13, was announced by the Saudi Music Commission on Wednesday and will serve as a catalyst for the growth and expansion of the Kingdom’s music industry.
The program will include international industry summits such as the International Music Managers Forum, Music Makers Summit, XP Music Futures and open call “fringe” events across heritage sites, art districts, cafes and hotels.
Alongside headline performances, the music week will also host policy and education forums, music tech displays and cross-sector innovations, ensuring an impact that will resonate beyond the event itself.
Music Commission CEO Paul Pacifico said: “Riyadh Music Week 2025 is our invitation to the world to experience the vibrant pulse of Saudi Arabia’s music landscape.
“This platform is where global and local voices meet, from artists and producers to educators and policymakers. It embodies the spirit of cultural exchange and shared creativity that defines today’s global music scene. We welcome everyone; from schools and universities to artists, labels, and entrepreneurs, to join us in shaping a future where music connects us all.”
The platform focuses on enabling new business opportunities, advancing progressive policy and inspiring broader community participation through accessible, music-driven experiences that bring people together across Riyadh.
