The iconic hip-hop artist Missy Elliott will headline the opening of Riyadh’s 2024 season. The ceremony will take place on Saturday, October 12, led by the undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol at the Kingdom Arena.
Elliott, a multiple Grammy Award winner, will perform her biggest hits. Songs like “Get Ur Freak On,” “Work It,” and “The Rain” will be part of her setlist. This event is part of her “Out of This World – The Missy Elliott Experience” tour, her first headlining tour in over 25 years.
Since her 1997 debut with the album “Supa Dupa Fly,” Missy Elliott has been an influential figure in rap and hip-hop. Her work broke barriers, making her one of the first women to stand out in a predominantly male genre. Her impact was officially recognized last year when she became the first female rapper inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Surprise Guests at the Concert
She won’t be alone on this grand night. Missy Elliott will share the stage with some of her most iconic collaborators. Pop superstar Ciara and hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes, who are also on tour with Elliott, will join the event. Their participation has raised fans’ expectations for this season opener.
Additionally, rumors suggest that producer Timbaland, Elliott’s close friend since high school, might join the concert. Timbaland is also part of Missy Elliott’s current tour, making his participation in the ceremony highly possible. If confirmed, this would add an epic touch to Saturday’s event.
