Arijit Singh performs for first time in Abu Dhabi

Brace yourself. Arijit Singh is coming back to the UAE.

The singer, who makes hearts race with his soulful hits such as Tum Hi Ho and the new Ae Dil Hai Mushkil title track, will perform in Abu Dhabi for the first time on October 28.

While it’s his first time in Abu Dhabi, he performed in Dubai to a full house in February this year.

Singh, known for his soul-stirring concerts, doesn’t employ gimmicks such as running from one end of the stage to the other or doing push-ups to draw in the crowds.

Instead, he uses his powerful voice and a guitar to bring out the angst and longing in his love songs.

The Kabira singer, who shot to fame with Aashiqui 2 and has belted out hits including Muskurane Ki Wajah and Sooraj Dooba Hai Yaaron, is also the lead male singer in all the songs from the upcoming Karan Johar film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Organised by Gulf Technical, the concert also features Sufi singer Mohammad Ali, whose songs include Alwida and Hum Bhi Dekh Saktay Hain.

Tickets, from Dh150, go on sale on platinumlist.net and at UAE Exchange Outlets from noon on September 8. Call 050-6000836.
