Events, exhibitions and experiences in Banban

Banban, on Riyadh’s northern outskirts, has hosted MDLBEAST SOUNDSTORM, one of the region’s largest music festivals. Large open desert sites like this need serious scenic, hospitality and sponsor infrastructure.

Planning in Banban

Festival promoters run the main production and line-up; brands and sponsors appoint suppliers for their own zones. We design and build sponsor activations, VIP lounges, backstage and artist-area fit-outs, entrances and wayfinding — engineered for sand, wind, heat and thousands of visitors a night. Site and dates are confirmed per edition by the promoter.

What we deliver here

VIP & backstage fit-outs

Raised decks, lounges, bars-free hospitality areas and artist zones built as temporary interiors.

Festival production & scenic builds

Entrances, scenic installations, VIP lounges, backstage fit-outs and wayfinding for festival sites.

Brand activations

Sponsor zones, pop-ups and interactive brand spaces built for public crowds and repeat daily operation.

Concert production

Stage, LED, lighting and audio production planning plus scenic and branded elements for promoter-led concerts.

Outdoor sites & temporary structures

Tents, overlay, shade and temporary structures planned with ground conditions, wind, heat and access in mind.

Signage & wayfinding

Bilingual wayfinding, entrance branding and site dressing so visitors find their way on large or unfamiliar sites.

Around Banban

Banban sites are open desert: we plan ground protection, anchoring, generator power and crew welfare, and work to the promoter’s site rules and production schedule.

How we work with you

  1. Brief — Share the event type, site or venue, dates if confirmed, audience and objectives.
  2. Site & rules check — We review access, power, rigging and the organiser or landlord rules that apply to this site.
  3. Design & proposal — Concept, 3D visuals and an itemised proposal so scope and cost are clear before commitment.
  4. Production & logistics — Off-site fabrication, technical preparation, transport and crew scheduling planned around the site window.
  5. Install, operate, dismantle — On-site build, testing, show support and a planned breakdown with the site handed back as agreed.

Frequently asked questions

Are you a SOUNDSTORM partner?

No. We mention SOUNDSTORM as context. We work for brands and agencies that need zones at large festivals, under the promoter’s rules.

Do you have an office or workshop in this location?

Our head office is in Manama, Bahrain, and we run Saudi projects with production capability in Riyadh. We plan delivery to each location project by project — travelling crews, transport and local suppliers where needed — rather than claiming a local office.
