Riyadh Season Draws Record Number of 18 Million Visitors

The fourth edition of Riyadh Season has attracted a record number of visitors, with 18 million people from around the world having already attended any one of thousands of events since the season began in October 2023. The target of 12 million total visitors was already surpassed before even reaching the halfway point of the festival in early January.

For many months, Riyadh Season - one of the largest entertainment festivals in the world - has hosted a packed calendar of events encompassing music, comedy, magic, acrobatics and many more. Perhaps most notable was the historic face-off between heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury and former MMA champion Francis Ngannou, in a battle of two giants titled ‘The Fiercest Man on Earth’.
