The show, according to audience member Rayan Mal, was considerably better than he had anticipated. “Being so energized to start the weekend is amazing. I came for DJ R3HAB, and he didn’t let me down,” he claimed. The show’s two closing acts, multi-platinum DJ R3HAB and headlining act Afrojack, had the audience singing along to their favourite remixed songs.
The musician, whose real name is Fadil El-Ghoul, thanked Arab News for having him and said, “It’s fantastic, I always use your website to remain updated on what’s going on in Saudi Arabia, and I will see you very soon in MDLBEAST.”
DJs, rappers, and singers from the Arab world, Europe, and the US, including Lil Pump, Nancy Ajram, Hamaki, Disco Misr, Alan Walker, Russ, DJ Snake, and Balqees, will perform at Gamers8’s next concert.
