Dubai: Following the overwhelming success of last year’s concert, Symphony of Stars returns to Etihad Arena on November 7 with a powerful new lineup featuring two of the most celebrated names in global music: Atif Aslam and Sami Yusuf.

Billed as Symphony of Stars: The Soulful Experience, this year’s edition will bring together Pakistani singer Atif Aslam and British artist Sami Yusuf for a night focused on soul, spirituality, and transcendent music.

Aslam, a regular performer in the UAE, will offer an acoustic, emotionally rich set revisiting his greatest hits while introducing new material from his current project Borderless World — a musical initiative promoting unity through sound.

Known for his powerful live performances and vast global fan base, Aslam’s return is expected to be one of the highlights of the UAE’s live music calendar.

Joining him is world music pioneer Sami Yusuf, whose spiritually resonant and genre-defying compositions have earned him international acclaim. His set will include selections from his acclaimed works such as Nasimi and Existentia, offering audiences a multi-sensory experience that blends classical traditions with contemporary flair.

Tickets are now available on the Etihad Arena website and Platinumlist.
