Riyadh Season 2025: A Global Entertainment Spectacle
Get ready for an exciting cultural extravaganza as Riyadh Season 2025 prepares to captivate audiences from around the world. The season, which will run from October to March, will see various events taking place across venues throughout the city.
At the heart of the entertainment hub is Boulevard City, a vibrant destination catering to luxury seekers with high-end retail and fine dining outlets. This year, Boulevard City will host the Riyadh Comedy Festival 2025, a laughter-filled event featuring over 50 top international comedians.
The comedy festival, launching as the official prelude to the season from September 26 to October 9, promises to be a global spectacle. Headliners include Aziz Ansari, Pete Davidson, Kevin Hart, Tom Segura, Russell Peters, Bill Burr, Jo Koy, Whitney Cummings, Jimmy Carr, Sebastian Maniscalco, Andrew Schulz, Gabriel ‘Fluffy’ Iglesias, Bobby Lee, Jessica Kirson, Jim Jefferies, Nimesh Patel, Omid Djalili, Andrew Santino, Sam Morril, Zarna Garg, and Maz Jobrani, among others.
Boulevard City will also play host to The Ring IV, a highly anticipated boxing event scheduled for November 22 at ANB Arena. The headline bout will feature David Benavidez and Anthony Yarde, alongside three additional world title fights.
Cultural enthusiasts can look forward to Boulevard World, a cultural zone in the festival, which will return with an expanded layout. Featuring more than a dozen country pavilions, Boulevard World offers food, performances, and crafts from across the globe. A three-minute cable car connects Boulevard World to Boulevard City, making it easy for visitors to explore both areas.
For sports fans, the Six Kings Slam championship will bring together six top-ranked tennis players: Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, and Jack Draper. The exact dates for this event are yet to be announced.
In addition, WWE's Royal Rumble will take place at King Saud University Stadium in January, marking the first time the event is held outside the US. More details about the event, including the exact dates, will be announced soon.
At Souq Al Awaleen, visitors can browse an open-air market selling oud, textiles, cookware, and traditional clothing. The Groves, styled like a European riverside town, features food vendors and evening cultural events.
Turki Al-Sheikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, has announced that the season's concert line-up will have a strong presence of Saudi and Gulf content, as well as a notable participation of Syrian artists in theatrical performances and concerts.
For the most current schedule and ticketing, official Riyadh Season or General Entertainment Authority (GEA) websites and their social media channels should be monitored as the event date approaches. Get ready to experience the magic of Riyadh Season 2025!
