Bollywood icon set to perform in Birmingham
Arijit Singh, the undisputed number one Bollywood playback singer and music composer in India, has added further dates in the UK in 2024, following an immediate sell-out of tickets at London's The 02 Arena.
Singh will kickstart the UK tour on 11 August at Co-op Live Arena, Manchester, the UK's newest and biggest live entertainment venue, which opens this spring. He will be the first South Asian artist to grace the venue's stage.
Following Co-op Live, he will perform on 16 August at Utilita Arena, Birmingham; and on 17 August at The 02 Arena, London.
The additional UK tour dates in Manchester and Birmingham will be brought to audiences by FH Group and Rock On Music with presenting sponsor Burj Mayfair.
Heralded by numerous accolades, including a prestigious National Film Award and an impressive tally of seven Filmfare Awards, Singh stands as a musical artist with a soulful and melodious voice.
His prolific career spans multiple Indian languages, with a focus on Hindi and Bengali, and is adorned with countless blockbuster movie songs that have resonated globally.
In 2023, Singh continued his musical dominance, contributing chart-topping tracks to some of the year's biggest Bollywood hits at the Global Box Office.
Notable releases include "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" (Pathaan); "Tere Pyaar Mein" (Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar); "Tum Kya Mile" (Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani); "Dil Jhoom" (Gadar 2); and "Chaleya" (Jawan).
His dynamic presence on streaming platforms was further highlighted by "Chaleya" (Jawan), which became the fastest song to cross 100 million streams on Spotify India and the most streamed song in a single day.
With over 100 million followers on Spotify, Arijit Singh is globally the second most-followed artist on Spotify behind international artist, Ed Sheeran.
Manny Singh from FH Group said: “The FH Group are thrilled to welcome the mesmerizing Arijit Singh to the Utilita Arena on August 16. His unparalleled talent and soulful melodies promise to captivate audiences, making it an unforgettable evening for music lovers everywhere."
