On December 19, David Guetta once again performed in Saudi Arabia where he now has his habits.

A performance given on the occasion of the MDLBeast festival in Riyadh, a gathering presented as the biggest musical event in the Middle East but which, in the eyes of many activists, serves above all as a communication operation for a monarchy seeking to smooth its image despite human rights violations often denounced.

A problem that absolutely does not work the most famous French DJ.

“I don't play for politicians, I play for people.

And you know, if I were to play only in countries where I totally agree with the leaders, I would probably stay at home, ”he told Billboard.

A false problem

In 2019, during the first edition of the festival, the influx of renowned artists and influencers had some people say that Saudi Arabia had spent lavishly to attract all these beautiful people.

On this, David Guetta does not really see where the problem is.

“I don't say what I say because I get paid.

I get paid to come to any country, and I can get paid in Saudi Arabia, America, Europe, and Latin America.

I want to be able to play for people wherever I go.

Afterwards, maybe I would go to China?

Should I stop going to America when I don't always agree with some of the things that are going on there?

», He continued.

This year the MDLBeast also had J Balvin, DJ Snake and Martin Garrix starring and this is one of the first events where men and women have been allowed to dance together in public in Saudi Arabia.
