  • After DJs and raves, Saudi pushes home-grown culture

Saudi Arabia, after initially embracing international DJs and rave-like events, is now actively developing and promoting its homegrown cultural scene, including local music, art, and festivals, to cultivate its own creative talent and provide new cultural outlets for its young population under initiatives like the Vision 2030 plan.

Vision 2030 focuses on creating strong roots that embrace modern Islam, national pride, Saudi heritage, and culture, while providing world-class entertainment options, sustainable living, and efficient health and social care systems. With these efforts, Vision 2030 is creating a vibrant society that serves as the foundation for a thriving economy and an ambitious nation.
