MDLBEAST launched Xchange for this reason: to support a diverse late-night culture while preventing risky behavior and promoting safety among partygoers and underground music lovers. The first edition took place in Jeddah earlier this year, while the second session got underway in Riyadh on Sept. 15, inviting policymakers, artists, and party promoters to the bustling JAX District to have a candid conversation about how to nurture the country’s burgeoning music scene as well as navigate how to expand the underground scene via small-scale parties and events, while maintaining a safe and sustainable environment for all attendees.
