To celebrate Saudi National Day, MDLBEAST has rolled out discounted tickets for Balad Social in Jeddah. The special offer applies to the event on Friday, September 26, 2025, giving music fans a chance to enjoy a night out in the historic district at a reduced price. For National Day, the event will feature a livelier crowd and extra sets, making it more fun for everyone, whether it’s your first visit or you come often.
What is Balad Social?
Balad Social is MDLBEAST’s weekly series that highlights underground sounds and emerging talent from across the region. Hosted in Al-Balad, the historic heart of Jeddah, the event has quickly built a reputation as the city’s hub for electronic beats and late-night energy. Unlike the larger Balad Beast festival, which runs over multiple days and draws international names, this is a local event that keeps things focused on regional talent, consistency, accessibility and just vibes.
Doors usually open at 9:30 PM, with DJs starting at 10:00 PM. Entry closes at 2:00 AM, which means anyone arriving later won’t be allowed in. Tickets are fully digital and managed through the NOFOMO app, making the process straightforward from purchase to check-in.
A Discount with So Much More
The National Day offer for Balad Social is part of MDLBEAST’s broader push around the holiday, which also includes special deals for its renowned festival, Soundstorm. In fact, reports in local media highlight that Soundstorm will feature its biggest ticket offers yet in honor of the national celebrations. While Soundstorm is the festival that makes headlines internationally, Balad Social offers a different kind of experience, one that is smaller in scale but big on atmosphere.
A Festival that Stands Out
Over the past months, Balad Social has been staged in different parts of Al-Balad, including the lobby of the Red Sea Palace Hotel and the rooftop of Bait Zainal. Each location gives the night a slightly different feel, adding a little excitement and flair for returning guests while keeping the focus mainly on the music. That flexibility has become part of its charm. With the National Day discount now in place, the upcoming event offers both regular attendees and first-time visitors a chance to experience the series at a lower cost and in one of the district’s main venues.
Balad Social Dates
The Saudi National Day discount is available for the event on Friday, September 26, 2025. While this edition is tied to the holiday, Balad Social generally runs every weekend on Thursdays and Fridays, giving audiences frequent opportunities to join in.
Balad Social Location
The National Day event will be held at the Welcome Center in Al-Balad, the historic district of Jeddah. Past editions have used other distinctive venues in the area, from heritage rooftops to hotel lobbies, all contributing to the event’s unique atmosphere.
Balad Social Tickets
For this special night, female tickets are priced at SAR 95, male tickets at SAR 195, and couples tickets at SAR 295. Tickets can be purchased directly through the MDLBEAST website and accessed through the NOFOMO app, which will be required for entry at the door.
