Internationally-known DJ David Guetta has defended his participation in Saudi festivals in an interview with AP. The French DJ is a resident of the United Arab Emirates and is performing at the MDLBeast Soundstorm music festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
If he were restricted to certain countries for political reasons, Guetta added, “I would probably stay home.”
“I’m not saying what I’m saying because I was getting paid, I’m getting paid in any country, you know I can make money in Saudi, in America, in Europe, in Latin America,” Guetta said. It was one of the most visible signs of change under crown prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2018. King Salman granted his son and heir, the crown prince, a free hand to usher in dramatic moves that have reshaped the country.Allowing women to drive, bringing in musical concerts, opening movie theaters, easing restrictions on gender segregation, and reigning in the powers of the religious police have all been signature reforms of the young prince.
