Few Things, Endless Discoveries

Abhijit Sawant live at Firdaus Studio 15 November

MOJO Moments Season 2 brings Abhijit Sawant to Firdaus Studio on Saturday, 15 November 2025, with the concert starting at 19:00 and pre-show terrace refreshments from 17:45. The format is intimate and acoustic-leaning, with a limited audience inside Expo City’s flagship recording space. Moreover, the curation promises close artist-audience interaction rather than arena spectacle. Expect a two-hour program with interval-style breaks and informal meet-and-greet moments around the terrace. Doors and refreshments from 17:45 are confirmed.

Tickets and pricing

Organisers have not publicly listed tiered prices at the time of writing; however, capacity is strictly limited and door rates can rise as inventory shrinks. Therefore, budget approximately in the AED 100–250 range based on comparable small-room concerts in Dubai, and plan for on-site card payments. Additionally, bring original ID matching the booking name to avoid delays at security. If you plan to arrive after 18:30, leave extra time for check-in and terrace queues. Advance booking is strongly recommended.

Schedule and flow

The evening builds gradually: terrace networking runs from 17:45, the show begins at 19:00, and the main set typically closes by around 21:00–21:30. Moreover, short stage resets keep energy high without long gaps. You should expect seated listening zones with standing pockets toward the rear. Because the room rewards quiet listening, keep phones on silent and step out for calls. Respect the quiet-listening sections.

About the artist

Abhijit (also styled Abhijeet) Sawant rose to fame as the inaugural winner of Indian Idol, and he has since balanced albums with playback singing and heavy touring. His releases include “Aapka Abhijeet Sawant” (2005), “Junoon” (2007), and “Farida” (2013), with the title track “Junoon” becoming a signature live moment. Additionally, he has recorded for films such as “Aashiq Banaya Aapne,” “Chittagong,” and “Dishoom.” On stage, he shifts easily between romantic pop and cinematic anthems, which suits an intimate room like Firdaus. Expect a set that blends chart favourites with audience requests.

Who’s on stage with him?

Recent MOJO Moments communications list music director-pianist Ajay Singha as a collaborating artist for Season 2, which hints at richer live arrangements than a simple unplugged set. Consequently, you can expect keys-driven textures, dynamic builds, and call-and-response segments that keep the room engaged. Moreover, smaller ensembles at Firdaus often improvise transitions, so listen for spontaneous codas on the big hooks. Live arrangements may differ from the studio versions.

Venue and acoustic notes

Firdaus Studio sits in Expo City Dubai’s Al Forsan Zone and functions as a world-class recording and scoring stage designed with A.R. Rahman’s team. Because the room was purpose-built, audiences get warm, detailed sound with excellent vocal presence even at moderate volumes. Additionally, adaptive acoustics keep mixes clear across seating rows. The studio’s location is listed as “Firdaus Studio, Expo City Dubai (Plus Code X574+58Q).” This is an indoor, climate-controlled concert hall.

Getting there and parking

You can reach Expo City by Dubai Metro Red Line (Expo City stop) and then a short walk or on-site shuttle, which often operates on event evenings. If you drive, follow signage to Expo City car parks and allow 10–12 minutes on foot to Firdaus from the closest major lots. Furthermore, plan your pickup point outside the immediate drop-off loop to avoid post-show congestion. Parking close to the studio is limited during events.

Travel from nearby Emirates

From Abu Dhabi, the E11 to Expo Road offers the most direct route; allow 60–80 minutes depending on Yas–Ghantoot traffic. From Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, E311 or E611 can be faster than E11 during Saturday evening peaks; consider park-and-ride at Red Line hubs if you dislike late-night driving. Moreover, ride-hailing works reliably at Expo City after 21:30 when metro headways lengthen. Avoid arriving between 18:30 and 19:15 if you want shorter queues.

Comfort and etiquette

The room’s clarity rewards attentive listening, so arrive early, settle in, and keep conversations for the terrace. Additionally, strobe use is minimal in this series, yet sensitive guests may prefer seats away from front-row lighting rigs. Keep valuables zipped, and bring a light layer in case of cool air-conditioning. Water is sold inside; however, refill stations may be limited. Large bags can be refused at security.

Weather, traffic, and final tips

Saturday evening looks warm and mostly clear in Dubai, around 28–26°C during show hours; light, breathable clothing with a thin layer for AC comfort works well. Moreover, traffic on Expo Road and entry loops can bunch between 18:30 and 19:15, then ease after 21:30; Metro runs late but check last train times before lingering on site. Treat all prices as approximately since organisers may adjust at the door. Make your reservation before it’s too late! According to information provided by the editor of www.few.ae, arriving by 18:15 for the terrace service gives you the smoothest check-in and the best seat picks.
