The Canadian hitmaker will perform in Jeddah on Saturday, 19 April.

Saudi Arabia, start your engines because the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 is racing into town. One of the highlights is the after-race concerts, which include a star-studded lineup. Previous events welcomed A-listers, from A$AP Rocky and Alicia Keys to Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott, and this year’s shows are set to be just as exciting. Brace yourselves because PARTYNEXTDOOR will be headlining the event in Jeddah.

Hailing from Ontario, Canada, PARTYNEXTDOOR was the first artist ever signed to Drake’s OVO Sound label, a pivotal move that positioned him at the forefront of the alt-R&B wave in the early 2010s.

His self-titled debut mixtape, PARTYNEXTDOOR (2013), was a moody, genre-blending release known for the tracks “Break from Toronto” and “Make a Mil”, laying the groundwork for the now-familiar OVO sound. He followed it up with a string of acclaimed projects, including PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO (2014) and PARTYNEXTDOOR 3 (2016), featuring hits like “Recognize” with Drake and “Come and See Me”, which earned a Grammy nomination.

Beyond his solo success, PARTYNEXTDOOR’s songwriting credits read like a who’s who of modern pop and R&B, penning chart-toppers like Rihanna’s “Work”, DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts” and Drake’s “Preach”.

In February 2025, PARTYNEXTDOOR reunited with his longtime collaborator Drake for the surprise joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. The project is a genre-defying showcase of smooth, late-night R&B infused with hip-hop swagger. Standout tracks include “Gimme a Hug,” in which Drake delivers veiled bars aimed at Kendrick Lamar, and the fan-favourite “Nokia,” a playful, synth-heavy jam with infectious energy.
