Mark your calendars; AZIMUTH is back, and it’s ready to light up the AlUla desert once again. The two-day festival returns from 25 to 26 September 2025, blending music, culture and celebration against the stunning sandstone cliffs of Saudi’s most dramatic backdrop.
Organised by MDLBEAST and part of the AlUla Moments calendar, this year’s edition is themed "Until the Sun Comes Up"—fitting for a festival that kicks off at sunset and goes deep into the night. As always, AZIMUTH aligns with Saudi National Day, giving it an extra patriotic pulse.
A festival with form
Though the 2025 line-up is still under wraps, past editions have pulled in major names like Bruno Mars, Jorja Smith, DJ Snake, The Chainsmokers, Peggy Gou, and Cairokee, alongside homegrown talent like Dish Dash. First launched in 2020, AZIMUTH has built a rep for intimate desert vibes and big-stage energy—pulling global stars into one of the world’s most unexpected festival locations.
Limited crowd, unlimited atmosphere
Only 2,500 General Admission and 500 VIP tickets will be released, keeping things tight, exclusive and atmospheric. Expect everything from pulsing electronic sets to genre-bending performances—all soundtracking the surreal, otherworldly beauty of AlUla’s rock formations.
Tickets + what’s next in AlUla
Early Bird passes are already live, offering 30% off across General Admission and Premium tiers—available for day tickets or the full weekend.
AZIMUTH is just one of many events on AlUla’s 2025 calendar. Coming up: the AlUla Wellness Festival in October and the Ancient Kingdoms Festival in November. Plus, if you’re into high-heat challenges, the AlUla Desert Blaze returns in August with marathon routes winding past Maraya and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hegra.
