Atif Aslam Set for Europe and U.K. Tour Marking 20 Years in Music
The Pakistani singer will perform in the Netherlands, Scotland and England in June
About two decades after he began professionally in the Pakistani and Bollywood music industries, Atif Aslam is celebrating the journey so far with a short run of shows in the U.K. and Europe, between June 2nd and June 11th.
Kicking off in Zoetermeer in the Netherlands on June 2nd, the artist will go on to perform arena shows in Leeds (June 3rd), Birmingham (June 4th), Glasgow (June 8th) and London’s OVO Arena, Wembley on June 11th.
Best known for singing “Woh Lamhe,” (from Zeher in 2005) “Tu Jaane Na” and “Tera Hone Laga Hoon” (both from 2009’s Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani), plus “Jeena Jeena” from Badlapur in 2014, Aslam has been a little less focused on Bollywood in recent years and a lot more geared towards building on the reputation as a desi globally-known artist. From Coke Studio Pakistan stints to singing songs for Hollywood productions like The Reluctant Fundamentalist, the artist’s latest international tour comes on the back of singles like “Moonrise” and “Go” with producer-singer Abdullah Siddiqui.
The artist said in a statement about the upcoming tour dates, “I am super thrilled to be performing for my fans because performing live gives an artist an opportunity to connect with the energies of the audience. This tour is also extra special as I complete 20 years of my singing journey and what better way to celebrate it, with people who have given me so much love and admiration for all these years. 2023 has been extremely special so far as my wife Sara and I also welcomed our baby girl.”
The tour is presented and promoted by California’s event management company Dembi Productions LLC and U.K.-headquartered live event company The Musik World.
Tickets for Atif Aslam’s 2023 tour are now available through AXS, Ticketmaster and Ticketfactory.
