The British festival is making its debut in Saudi Arabia.

Jeddah, put your hands in the air. There’s a new music festival in town. The British festival Animal Crossing is making its debut in the city, and is set to take place on 8 September. Created in collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s Avantgarde, here’s what to expect. 

Animal Crossing in Jeddah will bring together local and international dance acts. The line-up includes Animal Crossing’s resident artists Bowes, B2B R.O.Y, Dana Ruh, and Joey Jackson. Plus, Avantgarde’s performers Saoud and Voidkid. 

Animal Crossing in Jeddah boasts state-of-the-art lighting and staging. The event draws its inspiration from Saudi, and will include fashion and food stalls.

Animal Crossing was created by a group of friends in the UK. Previous festivals have taken place in locations ranging from Albania to Barcelona. Plus, the homegrown brand, Avantgarde, aims to bring people together through dance music.
