RIYADH: Fringe events and public space performances will take place from Dec. 7-10 as part of Riyadh Music Week, extending the festival into the city’s cultural venues and outdoor spaces.
Fringe highlights emerging local talent and creative communities by transforming warehouses, studios, cafes and outdoor spaces into intimate hubs of creativity, offering a platform to connect artists and audiences through music.
From JAX District to Sports Boulevard and the Diplomatic Quarter, the lineup features some of Saudi Arabia’s most forward-thinking music communities, including Underrated X, MDLBEAST Records, The Fridge, Bohemia Records, Merwas and The Warehouse. Each partner will host concept-driven night series that complement Riyadh Music Week’s core program.
On Dec. 7, The Fridge launches “The Fridge Open Mic powered by Sennheiser” at Personage Warehouse C11, JAX District. The evening is split into two segments: Little Legends Open Mic for ages 7–14, followed by a main open mic for those 15 and over. Doors open at 6 p.m., with Little Legends from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and the main session from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The event features a full professional backline, supports emerging talent, and is free with pre-registration via The Fridge’s website.
