Cassette 90 Night: A nostalgic celebration of Arab pop icons in Jeddah

As part of the Jeddah Calendar’s summer lineup, Cassette 90 Night promises a glamorous and nostalgic throwback to the golden era of Arab pop - namely, the 1990s.

Cassette 90 Night is more than a concert — it’s set to be a seminal cultural moment for lovers of nineties music. By spotlighting the artists who shaped Arab pop music, the event offers a rare chance to relive the soundtrack of a generation in a luxury setting. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering these legends for the first time, this is one night you won’t want to miss.

Taking place on Thursday August 7, 2025, at Jeddah's Abadi Al Johar Arena, this one-night-only concert will feature a star-studded lineup of artists who defined the sound of the 1990s across the Middle East.

 And in even better news for those who might find themselves peckish during or after the show, a selection of delicious food trucks will be available on-site.

The Lineup

Although we're expecting more names to be announced, together, these Arab artists from Egypt, Saudi and beyond, will perform a selection of their most iconic songs, transporting audiences back to a time of cassette tapes, heartfelt lyrics, and unforgettable melodies.

So, for one night only indulge in an evening of nostalgic nineties beats, with the soundtrack provided by Arabic musical legends such as:

Diana Haddad: Known for her fusion of Lebanese and Gulf musical styles, Haddad rose to fame with hits like Ammaneh and Saken. Her powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence have made her a regional icon. @dianahaddadofficial
