DUBAI: The Fridge is set to bring two live music events to Riyadh’s JAX District this February, spotlighting both emerging and established Saudi talent at Personage.
The program begins with The Fridge Open Mic on Feb. 12, a free event designed as a platform for Riyadh’s rising musicians. Performers will take the stage to share original material in front of a supportive audience, whether testing new songs or presenting polished sets. The initiative offers artists the chance to perform in a professional live setting, something still relatively rare for early-stage musicians in the city. Doors open at 7pm, with performances running from 8pm to 10.30pm.
The following night, Feb. 13, The Fridge Concert Series KSA Season 1 continues with Hamza Hawsawi headlining an intimate live show. One of Saudi Arabia’s most prominent R&B voices, Hawsawi has spent more than 15 years shaping a sound that blends soul, pop and R&B. Hawsawi has amassed more than 33 million global views and collaborated with international and regional artists including Future, Cool n Dre, Music Travel Love, Talal Salama and Qusai. His track “Million Miles” was selected as the official Rally Dakar anthem and has surpassed 5.3 million views on YouTube.
Opening the night is Sarah Chefai, whose genre-spanning live performances move between jazz, pop, blues and indie. She has appeared at major events across the Kingdom, including the Formula 1 gala, the Red Sea Film Festival and Noor Riyadh.
Doors open at 8pm, with the show starting at 9pm. Tickets start from SR80 ($21) and capacity is limited.
