RIYADH — An epic weekend of rap and reggae will get Saudi Arabia rocking as the Diriyah Music Festival lines up more superstar names, and a sensational starting price of only for SR495 to attend both nights on general admission.

And on the same night, support act and fellow rapper Tyga (an acronym of Thank You God Always), who has collaborated previously with Lil Wayne, will bring hits such as Can't Help But Wait, About You and Taste to the Saudi crowds.
Completing the rap lineup will be performer and record producer Future, responsible for multiple gold selling hits such as Turn On The Lights, Jumpman and Low Life.
