Karan Aujla to headline Etihad Arena with his biggest UAE show yet
Fresh off his wildly successful India tour (which drew over 200,000 fans), this will be Aujla's first-ever stadium show in the region, and it's expected to welcome more than 30,000 fans.
Presented by Live Nation Middle East and Team Innovation, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, this performance marks a major milestone in Aujla's career — and a big moment for Punjabi music in the UAE.
From 'Admiring You' to 'Softly' , and new releases like 'Courtside' and 'Tell Me' (his collab with OneRepublic), the concert will be packed with fan favourites and never-before-seen moments. He'll be joined on stage by longtime collaborator Ikky, with a full-scale production featuring immersive visuals and soundscapes.
'I can't wait to share this experience with the UAE,' said Aujla. 'Let's make history for Punjabi music.'
2025 has already been a banner year for the singer-songwriter, with multiple JUNO Award nominations and massive international collaborations. His video for Courtside , filmed at the Miami Grand Prix, hit 23 million views and became the most-watched video on YouTube within 24 hours of release.

AP Dhillon to rock Coca-Cola Arena once again
Partner Content: The concert will take place on 7 September. Dubai, brace yourselves for the ultimate groove-fest because a global sensation is coming to town. Hitting the stage at Coca-Cola Arena on 7 September is the one and only AP Dhillon, promising a night you won't forget. Born Amritpal Singh Dhillon in 1993, he straddles Punjabi roots and Western influences, fusing hip-hop, pop, and R&B into a uniquely soulful sound. His musical journey began in 2019, when he dared to blend genres, creating a sound that resonated with the global Indian diaspora. The breakthrough came with the release of the chart-topping single 'Brown Munde' in 2020, propelling him straight into stardom. Since then, AP Dhillon has been on a roll, churning out hits like Excuses, With You and many more. With over five billion streams across all platforms, it's safe to say that Dhillon's music has become a global phenomenon. Last year, fans of AP Dhillon also watched the documentary series AP Dhillon: First of a Kind, which offered an unprecedented look into the life of the star. With over 30 sold-out shows worldwide, Dhillon has left his mark, achieving what many artists dream of within a record-breaking three years as a debut artist. Yet, AP Dhillon's depth goes beyond swagger. He delves into themes of heartbreak, disillusionment, and the immigrant experience with raw honesty. The upcoming concert isn't Dhillon's first stint in Dubai. He graced the Expo 2020 stage in 2022 and had a sold-out show at Coca-Cola Arena in February 2024, so expect an even bigger crowd this time around. Tickets are now on sale, with prices starting at AED 295 and ranging up to AED 2,195. GO: Visit for more information.
