Riyadh Update

Riyadh moves quickly, and this is where we track it. The Riyadh Update section follows what is opening, what is on and what is worth planning a trip around across the Saudi capital, from Riyadh Season announcements and Boulevard City expansions to one-off concerts, festivals and sporting nights.

You will find opening dates and operating hours as they are confirmed, ticket release news for the events that sell out fastest, and practical detail on getting to venues such as Boulevard City, Boulevard World, Kingdom Arena and Al Awwal Park. We update these posts as plans change, because in Riyadh they often do.

If you are visiting for a specific event, start with the most recent posts below. If you are planning further ahead, the seasonal Riyadh Season coverage is the best place to understand how the calendar fits together.
