AP Dhillon returns to Dubai for a one-night-only concert this September
Exclusively produced by Live Nation Middle East and Team Innovation, this show promises an electrifying celebration of music that transcends borders, genres, and languages. Known for fusing Punjabi lyrics with pop, hip-hop, and global beats, AP Dhillon has quickly become one of the most influential names in the South Asian music scene, amassing over 5 billion streams worldwide.
His latest EP The Brownprint showcases that cross-cultural reach, with features from heavyweights like Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Gunna, Ayra Starr, and Jazzy B. It's a record that speaks to Dhillon's mission to amplify the global brown identity — and his Dubai fans are getting the chance to experience it live.
Speaking about the upcoming concert, Dhillon says, 'Returning to Dubai holds a profoundly special significance for me. The unparalleled energy of my fans here is a constant source of inspiration.'
This show follows a massive 2024 for the artist — a sold-out India tour, a spot in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, and appearances at Paris Fashion Week for Louis Vuitton and Chanel. Add in a headline-making Amazon Prime documentary and his history-making performance at the Juno Awards, and it's safe to say: AP Dhillon is just getting started. How to get tickets:

Manny Jacinto open to filming, creating stories in the Philippines
Filipino-Canadian actor Manny Jacinto has expressed interest in working on films in the Philippines, saying he wants to create stories that can be produced in his homeland. In an interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, Jacinto said his 'actual goal' is to write and develop stories about the Philippines. 'Whether to act here or create stories here, that's the goal,' he said. The Hollywood actor revealed he is working on a family-centered story involving sabong (cockfighting), clarifying it is unrelated to the ongoing missing sabungeros case. 'I can't say too much about it because it's still in the works, but it's something along those lines,' he said. Jacinto, who moved to Canada at the age of three, said he still understands Filipino and has relatives in the country. He shared that he frequently visits for family occasions and last returned two Christmases ago with his and his wife's parents to explore the Philippines. While Jacinto is now enjoying success in Hollywood, he admitted to facing numerous rejections, particularly as a person of color. 'It's tough to be in the industry, especially as a person of color. Whether you're Asian or Filipino, there's a lot of rejection… I built up my work ethic because of my parents, and I just continue to strive on,' he said. Jacinto is in the Philippines to promote his new film Freakier Friday, a sequel to the 2003 hit Freaky Friday starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. In the movie, he plays Filipino-British chef Eric Reyes, who is set to marry Anna Coleman (Lohan) and start a new life in Los Angeles, despite the disapproval of their daughters Lily (Sophia Hammons) and Harper Coleman (Julia Butters).
