Brown Munde sensation AP Dhillon set to take over Dubai this September and why UAE is such a special place for him

Mark your calendars and moisturise your souls, Dubai.

AP Dhillon — the genre-defying, vibe-slaying, global Punjabi singing icon — is coming back, and he’s bringing the full 360° experience with him. That’s right: on Sunday, September 7, 2025, the Coca-Cola Arena is going to transform into Planet AP — and you better have your fits, your friends, and your feelings in check.

Let’s get this straight: this isn’t just a concert. This is a moment.

The kind your future self will brag about being at. The kind where bangers like Brown Munde, Excuses, Insane, and Sleepless will bounce off the arena walls while new anthems like Afsos and STFU hit you square in the chest.

Expect lights, energy, drama, emotion — and that signature AP magic that turns a show into a cultural shift.

"Dubai’s always been special to me. It’s where I did my first-ever 360 show—still one of my favorite performances to date. I’ve been waiting to bring this experience back, and I can’t wait to return," said AP Dhillon in a statement.

Backed by the powerhouse duo Live Nation Middle East and Team Innovation, the king of cool is returning to the very stage where he made history as the first Punjabi artist to pull off a full 360-degree show in Dubai. And now? He’s upping the ante. Again.

Fresh off a no-notes 2024 — complete with a sold-out India tour, flexes at Paris Fashion Week (hi, Chanel), and an NBA All-Star celebrity moment (as one does) — AP is basically collecting power moves like they’re Pokémon. And now, he’s coming back to where it all began, just to remind us that he’s not just riding the wave — he is the wave.

Let’s be honest: whether you’ve been bumping Summer High on the daily or still crying over Dil Nu, this show is your golden ticket to get lost in the Brownprint — a sonic universe where Punjabi roots collide with hip-hop, R&B, pop, and a whole lot of swagger.

And if you’ve never been to an AP Dhillon show? Baby, this is your sign. Because once you’re in that arena, surrounded by a sea of fans, beats thumping through your chest, lyrics pouring out like therapy in bass — you'll get it. This isn’t just music. It’s a movement.

So, don’t play yourself. Tickets costing Dh195 drop Monday, 30 June at 12 PM sharp via LiveNation.me and Coca-Cola-Arena.com.

Set your alarms, cancel all your plans, and maybe even manifest a VIP package while you’re at it. Because Dubai’s about to turn Brown Munde mode ON — and there’s no going back.
