Among everything QB Festival offers, a set of tech experiences stands out that takes visitors straight into the future — led by Saudi Arabia’s first Drone Soccer, alongside VR and AR worlds. In this article we explore these experiences and what makes them one of the top reasons to visit the festival.
Drone Soccer, the sport of the future
Drone Soccer is a modern competitive sport where players pilot drones inside a dedicated arena, trying to score by flying the drone through the goal ring. It combines control skill, speed and teamwork in a striking visual spectacle that appeals to players and spectators alike.
Why it's a big deal
Because QB Festival brings it to Saudi Arabia for the first time. This makes the experience a rare chance to live a rising global sport before it spreads, and adds a tech, future-facing dimension that sets QB apart from any other event among Riyadh’s 2026 line-up.
VR: step into new worlds
Alongside Drone Soccer, the festival offers a VR zone equipped with Meta Quest 3 headsets, where you can enter immersive digital worlds and experience games and challenges in entirely new dimensions. VR is no longer a luxury but a core part of modern entertainment, and the festival delivers it at its latest.
The AR Room
The Augmented Reality (AR) Room completes the tech experience, blending digital elements with the real world to create a unique interaction between what’s in front of you and what technology adds. It’s a perfect space for lovers of inventive experiences and eye-catching visuals.
Why these experiences are worth the visit
- First-of-their-kind experiences in Saudi Arabia, especially Drone Soccer.
- Modern tech suited to fans of the future and innovation.
- Striking visual moments worth capturing and sharing.
- Variety that suits individuals, groups and families.
How to try them at the festival
All these experiences are available within QB Activations at BLVD City, Riyadh, from 27 July to 29 August 2026. Your festival ticket gives you access to these zones along with the other activations and challenges. We recommend setting aside enough time to try Drone Soccer and VR without rushing.
Conclusion
QB Festival proves it’s not just an entertainment event but a window into the future of interactive entertainment in Saudi Arabia. With the Kingdom’s first Drone Soccer and VR and AR experiences, the festival offers plenty of reasons to make it your top destination this summer.
