UAE-based Anghami partners with Addmind to launch an entertainment ‘Lab’

Anghami, the music streaming platform for the Middle East and North Africa, announced the launch of an entertainment venue called “Anghami Lab” in Dubai, which will be followed by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital, and other major cities.

To introduce the new concept, Anghami has partnered with Addmind. The Lab will be the first to bring the online and offline worlds together, bridging the gap between digital and traditional entertainment. The facility will have a lounge, stage, and studio where musicians may collaborate to create music influenced by Arabic and foreign cultures, which will be performed at the venue.

The resulting music will be made available only on their app which will have its own set of features that will enhance both experiences. The cuisine offered at Anghami Lab will be a combination of Arabic and international dishes, capturing the spirit of Anghami while also delivering a global taste with an Arabic twist.
