The Warehouse · Empowering Artists
This Non-Disclosure Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between The Warehouse Events (CR Number 1010644972) (the “Disclosing Party”) and the Receiving Party identified below, collectively referred to as the “parties,” for the purpose of preventing the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information as defined below.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall include all information or material that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the business in which the Disclosing Party is engaged, and which is maintained with confidentiality. If Confidential Information is in written form, the Disclosing Party shall label or stamp the materials with the word “Confidential” or some similar warning. If Confidential Information is transmitted orally, the Disclosing Party shall promptly provide a writing indicating that such oral communication constituted Confidential Information.
Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement do not extend to information that is: (a) publicly known at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) discovered or created by the Receiving Party before disclosure by Disclosing Party; (c) learned by the Receiving Party through legitimate means other than from the Disclosing Party or Disclosing Party’s representatives; or (d) is disclosed by Receiving Party with Disclosing Party’s prior written approval.
Receiving Party shall hold and maintain the Confidential Information in strictest confidence for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Disclosing Party. Receiving Party shall carefully restrict access to Confidential Information to employees, contractors and third parties as is reasonably required and shall require those persons to sign nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective as those in this Agreement. Receiving Party shall not, without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party, use for Receiving Party’s own benefit, publish, copy, or otherwise disclose to others, or permit the use by others for their benefit or to the detriment of the Disclosing Party, any Confidential Information. Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party any and all records, notes, and other written, printed, or tangible materials in its possession pertaining to Confidential Information immediately if the Disclosing Party requests it in writing.
This Agreement and Receiving Party’s duty to hold Confidential Information in confidence shall remain in effect for 1 Year from the date of Signing. The agreement shall be terminated only if the following occurs first: (a) Disclosing Party sends Receiving Party written notice releasing it from this Agreement, or (b) Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement ceases to be confidential, breach of this contract.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute either party a partner, joint venture or employee of the other party for any purpose.
If a court finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as best to affect the intent of the parties.
This Agreement expresses the complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter and supersedes all prior proposals, agreements, representations, and understandings. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by both parties.
The failure to exercise any right provided in this Agreement shall not be a waiver of prior or subsequent rights.
Any misappropriation of Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement may cause Disclosing Party irreparable harm, the amount of which may be difficult to ascertain, and therefore Receiving Party agrees that Disclosing Party shall have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order enjoining any such further misappropriation and for such other relief as Disclosing Party deems appropriate. This right of the Disclosing Party is to be in addition to the remedies otherwise available to the Disclosing Party.
Receiving Party agrees to indemnify the Disclosing Party against any and all losses, damages, claims or expenses incurred or suffered by the Disclosing Party as a result of the Receiving Party’s breach of this Agreement.
In a dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable attorney fees and costs and necessary expenditures.
This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Saudi Arabia.
This Agreement and each party’s obligations shall be binding on the representatives, assigns and successors of such parties.

A music-led concept that turns AlUla's landscape into the stage. Ten cinematic films build the demand; live sessions convert it into tickets.
The idea starts from the jalsa — a small circle of voices, an oud, coffee passed by hand. AlUla is built to hold that sound: sandstone walls a hundred metres tall that carry a voice without amplification.
"We don't bring a stage to AlUla. We let AlUla become the stage."
The concept is simple on purpose. Intimate music sessions, staged inside the canyons and the old town, where the place does half the work. Each one is filmed. The films become the invitation — and the invitation is what fills the valley.
Every location gives a session its own mood, its own scale, its own light. These are starting points; AlUla holds far more.
Among the Nabataean tombs at first light. The most significant frame AlUla offers — used sparingly, for the single most important session of the season. Stillness, scale, gravity.
The heart of the idea. Sheer sandstone corridors that return every note without amplification. This is the space the whole concept is named for.
Mud-brick alleys and warm light, the audience close to the performer. The truest jalsa setting — a circle, not a stage. Where heritage becomes the room.
One immense silhouette against an open sky. A session that plays small against something enormous — built for the wide, cinematic frame.
The world's largest mirrored building — the opposite of the canyon in every way: enclosed, reflective, contemporary. Used once, on purpose, to show range: the same heritage, refracted through a modern, global lens.
Before a ticket is sold, we build the evidence: ten short films, each shot in a different AlUla location. The style is cinematic and destination-grade — real places, natural light, live performance, no studio. Released as a series, they create the demand and remain as a permanent asset after the season.
The Nabataean tombs at first light. The season's opening frame — used once, and sparingly.
The carved cliffs of the ancient capital in long, low, golden light.
The cool, quiet canyon of ancient inscriptions — AlUla's open-air library. The most intimate frame in the set.
The stone landmark in silhouette as the sky drops to dark. The widest, most cinematic frame.
The mud-brick alleys under warm lantern light, a circle gathered close.
The palm groves in green morning shade — the valley that feeds the place.
The black volcanic plateau beneath a full night sky. The high-energy moment of the season.
The desert rock pinnacles by firelight — the shared, communal frame.
The Valley of the Arts at twilight — the modern turn, proof the idea can travel.
The mirrored hall after dark — the finale, and the trailer for the season ahead.
AlUla's cultural season already gathers the world in the cool months — a crowd that is, by design, international and mixed. We don't build an audience from zero. We program into the moment the valley is already full, so the films capture real faces from many places, and the sessions ride a wave that's already moving.
Lock locations, pair artists, clear songs, storyboard the ten films.
Film the canyon and old-town sessions while the light and the crowd are right.
Roll the films out as a series into the busiest weeks; the live sessions land on the wave.
Ten films remain — a permanent invitation that keeps working long after the season ends.
The point isn't a calendar. It's the instinct behind it: meet the crowd at its peak, with a feeling no one else is offering.
The magic isn't one big name — it's the right fit. Every artist we bring to AlUla has to meet a clear standard.
Each artist gives the season two things: one film, and one live session. The film is the reach. The session is the reason to be there.
Every session is built the same way — a pairing, a song, a place — and scales to the ambition and the budget.
An international or regional star beside a Saudi star or rising talent — a Lebanese vocalist and a young Saudi instrumentalist, a flamenco guitarist answering a Khaleeji singer. The contrast is the content, and the bridge.
Established names perform their own work; rising talent performs properly cleared covers. The catalogue is curated for one feeling: warmth, friendship, positive energy — nothing that doesn’t belong in the circle.
And it scales. The same season runs three ways:
Professional Saudi musicians and real instruments, shaped to the desert. Intimate, authentic, and highly efficient — maximum feeling per riyal.
A respected Saudi star anchors the season beside rising local talent. Wider reach and stronger pull, still deeply rooted.
A Gulf or international name for a marquee moment — maximum visibility and international attention on AlUla.
Same films, same locations, same feeling. Only the ambition scales — so the project fits whatever budget the moment allows.
An idea this rooted in a real place only works if it's welcomed by the people who look after it. The concept is designed to move with AlUla's partners, not around them — and to scale to whatever ambition the moment allows.
The Royal Commission for AlUla, the events authority, and the municipality aren't a hurdle — they're co-authors. Cultural advisors shape what each location can hold, so the heritage is honoured, not borrowed.
Filming, gathering, sound, access — each location and each session carries its own approvals. Mapped early, element by element, so nothing stalls when the light is right.
Sacred sites used sparingly. Footprint kept light. The valley leaves as it was found. The restraint is part of the prestige.
The same idea runs as a quiet pilot — a handful of sessions and films — or a full season. Cost flexes to appetite; the feeling stays constant. That flexibility is deliberate.
This is not a first attempt. The Warehouse is Saudi Arabia's leading independent music platform — established 2020, headquartered in Riyadh, with a flagship venue handed over by the Ministry of Culture. The proof of execution is already here.
We produced Riyadh Music Week and run 350+ live shows a year across the Kingdom. The team, the artist network, and the production capability already exist — permits are secured by the commission; we execute.
The targets this project is designed to reach. For context: 20,000+ people attend our venue each year, one produced act sold 3,500+ tickets, and our channels reach 25M+ annually. The model scales from an intimate pilot to a full season — cost flexes to ambition.
This is not content for its own sake. Every part of the project is designed to serve AlUla's goals.
A real reason for respected regional and international artists to create in AlUla — building its reputation on the global music map.
The films turn attention into travel — domestic first, and international depending on the artists chosen. Each session is a reason to come.
Ten films and a season of content put AlUla in the feeds where destinations are discovered and chosen.
The films keep working long after the season — promoting AlUla for years, at no extra cost.
Saudi musicians share the frame with global names — living proof of the Kingdom's growing creative sector.
Designed to hit the numbers that matter — the KPIs this project exists to move.
