Jeddah’s entertainment scene has been growing at a pace the region hasn’t seen before, and this November adds another big moment to that list. ATEEZ and BamBam are officially coming to Jeddah, headlining K-pop Masterz 2025 at the Abadi AlJohar Arena. The festival is happening on Thursday, November 27, and fans across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC are already marking their calendars.
With Dubai often being the go-to destination for large-scale concerts in the region, events like this show how Jeddah is carving out its own identity in the global entertainment space. Many K-pop fans in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have shared online that they’re planning a weekend trip to Jeddah just to catch the concert — proving how strong the pull of ATEEZ and BamBam in Jeddah truly is.
ATEEZ: A performance powerhouse arriving with global energy
If you’ve seen ATEEZ perform — whether at a K-pop festival or even trending clips online — you’ll know they don’t do “simple shows.” Their concerts are full-on theatrical productions. Heavy choreography. Live vocals. Intense lighting. Story-driven staging. It’s the kind of group that makes even non-K-pop fans stop and pay attention.
The eight members — Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho — debuted in 2018 and have built an incredibly loyal fanbase known as ATINY. Their sound leans into EDM, hip-hop, and trap, and over the years, they’ve released eleven EPs, four studio albums, and more than twenty singles.
ATEEZ concerts in the Middle East tend to sell out quickly. Fans here love the group’s intense performance style, and the energy often feels similar to the massive turnouts seen in Dubai for K-pop nights at venues like Coca-Cola Arena. That’s why the Jeddah show is already picking up momentum online — it’s rare, and fans know what they’re getting is worth every riyal.
BamBam’s solo charm adds a different flavour to the lineup
While ATEEZ brings the group performance magic, BamBam brings personality, humour, and a very relaxed stage vibe that fans adore. The Thai rapper-singer, known famously from GOT7, has carved out a successful solo chapter with a sound that blends dance, hip-hop, and catchy pop.
His 2023 album Sour & Sweet marked a major milestone, followed by his Area 52 world tour, which spanned multiple Asian countries. BamBam isn’t just known for music — he’s known for being effortlessly funny, stylish, and incredibly good with fan interactions. In fact, some fans travel specifically for his fan-service moments.
Pairing BamBam with ATEEZ in the same festival gives the show a varied rhythm: high-intensity group performances mixed with charismatic solo stages — a combination that always lands well with K-pop audiences in the region.
Where it’s happening
The concert will take place at Abadi AlJohar Arena, also known as Benchmark Arena, located in Al Basateen. It’s one of the newer venues shaping Jeddah’s event landscape and is built for large-scale performances. Fans who’ve attended previous concerts here often praise the acoustics and the seating layout, which offers clear views even from standard sections.
Date: Thursday, November 27
Venue: Abadi AlJohar Arena, Al Basateen
Show time: 8 PM
For fans travelling from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, or Doha, the area around the venue is well-connected and surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and quick-grab food spots — ideal for pre-show meetups or post-concert hangs.

for the GCC entertainment scene
Over the past few years, the GCC has evolved into a key stop for global music tours. What started with occasional concerts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi is now developing into a regional circuit — with Jeddah, Riyadh, and Doha joining the lineup.
Big names like ATEEZ and BamBam choosing Jeddah reinforces the region’s rising influence in the global entertainment industry. More fans are travelling between GCC cities for concerts, and that cultural movement is helping shape a more interconnected entertainment ecosystem.
With two major K-pop names sharing the same stage, K-pop Masterz 2025 is shaping up to be one of Jeddah’s biggest nights of the year. ATEEZ will bring the fire, BamBam will bring the charm, and fans will bring the energy — the perfect mix for a night that’s already building serious hype.
