Hey!

as a Saudi I can tell you social life is easy. People love to have friends, but some of them do not speak English which could be a barrier. You need to start making friends with co workers.
music events are rare. However, there are many festivals are taking places during weekends.
There will be huge festival will start next week (as far as I know) called Jinadriah. Lot of people come to see the culture and part of it is a show for national musics and local dance + Shops and corners for other countries
