The beloved singer will perform on 16 October.


The Saudi capital is gearing up to host a plethora of celebrities and events throughout the year. The superstar shows will return with the launch of Riyadh Season 2025, beginning with the Saudi musical icon, Mohammed Abdo. Taking place on 16 October, the singing sensation is all set to mesmerise fans at the aptly named Mohammed Abdo Theatre.

Affectionately known as the “Artist of the Arabs,” Mohammed Abdo promises a night of passion and musical brilliance in Riyadh. The singer has over 125 albums to his name, including the widely acclaimed Abaad. His repertoire boasts more than 300 patriotic songs, each a testament to his legacy and influence on Arabic music. 

Throughout his career, Abdo has achieved numerous milestones. He was the first to sing the “Al Sanaaniya” song with a musical orchestra, and the first Arab artist to use the term “Habibty” in singing. His international acclaim reached new heights when he became the first Saudi artist to perform at the Paris Opera. He was honoured with the Diamond Jubilee award in recognition of his 60 years of artistic contribution.

With an illustrious six-decade-long career, Abdo is one of Saudi music’s most influential figures. Renowned for his ability to present local music in a universally resonant manner, he has captivated audiences not only in the Middle East but worldwide. 

With Riyadh Season 2025 underway, be sure to keep an eye out for other exciting events across the capital, from Riyadh Comedy Festival and the 6 Kings Slam to Power Slap 17 and MDLBeast Soundstorm, which has already confirmed Post Malone, Calvin Harris, Benson Boone, Halsey and Idris Elba as headline acts.

Tickets to see Mohammed Abdo live in Riyadh will be available from Sunday, 5 October at 4pm.
