Soundstorm debuted in 2019 as an electronic music event but has since transformed into a multi-genre festival. This year’s lineup includes Thirty Seconds to Mars, Muse, and the Swiss DJ duo Adriatique. Last year’s edition featured Metallica, marking the first time a major heavy metal band performed in the Kingdom.
