Qatar is gearing up for a grand musical celebration as the highly anticipated World Music Festival 2025 is all set to take place on July 3 and 4 at the Aspire Ladies Hall in Doha.
The two-day extravaganza, presented by Qatar Calendar and organised by MirchiOne 89.6 FM and Qabayan 94.3 FM, promises to bring together an exceptional lineup of global artistes in a celebration of diversity, culture, and unity through music.
Details of the festival were officially unveiled at a press conference held on Wednesday at the Steigenberger Hotel Doha, where members of the media and key stakeholders gathered to hear from the organisers and artistes themselves.
The highlight of the press conference was the presence of none other than Padmashree Adnan Sami, the acclaimed singer, composer, and performer, who will headline Day 2 of the festival on July 4.
Adnan Sami, often referred to as the 'Sultan of Music,' expressed his excitement about performing in Doha once again.
Addressing the media, he said, 'Doha holds a very special place in my heart. The love and warmth I've received here have been overwhelming. I'm looking forward to sharing an unforgettable evening of music with all of you.'
His heartfelt remarks were met with enthusiastic applause, further heightening anticipation for his upcoming performance.
Known for his timeless classics such as 'Kabhi Toh Nazar Milao,' 'Lift Karade,' 'Tera Chehra,' and 'Sun Zara,' Sami's concert is expected to draw fans of all ages from across Qatar's diverse communities.
He also hinted at including new arrangements and surprises in his setlist, promising a magical and soulful musical journey.
Day 1 of the festival today will feature performances by the internationally renowned Filipino band December Avenue, whose emotionally rich songs have captivated millions of fans across the world. The band — comprising Zel Bautista, Gelo Cruz, Jet Danao, Jem Manuel, and Carissa Ramos — will be joined by Filipino rap icon Gloc-9, bringing a dynamic blend of melody and lyricism to the opening night.
The festival is being powered by iPay, Vodafone's cutting-edge e-wallet solution, and driven by GWM, presented by Teyseer Motors.
The organisers emphasised that the World Music Festival 2025 is not just a concert, but a celebration of multiculturalism, shared heritage, and the power of music to bring people together. With performances spanning genres, languages, and regions, the event is designed to resonate with Qatar's vibrant international community.
