Millennials, this one is for you.
The UAE’s concert calendar shows no signs of slowing down. After star turns from the likes of Halsey and Pitbull set to take the stage in December, another crowd-pleaser has joined the lineup. Himesh Reshammiya is bringing his Cap Mania Tour to Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on 21 December, promising a full-throttle celebration of the Bollywood hitmaker’s sound.
For those who grew up in the 2000s, Himesh Reshammiya was impossible to ignore. He started as a music composer working behind the scenes, burst onto the mainstream with a sound that was unique, with a nasal tone and a cap that became his signature. It is this trademark look that has now become a symbol of his fandom and has turned him into a pop-culture phenomenon.
Expect a set stacked with the songs that made him a phenomenon. From “Jhalak Dikhla Ja,” “Hookah Bar,” “Tera Suroor,” “Aap Ki Kashish,” and “Aashiq Banaya Aapne,” to the endlessly quotable “Tandoori Nights.” What once fuelled memes now fuels full-voice singalongs, as millennial fans lean into the nostalgia and Gen Z discovers why these tracks still hit hard. If the India shows are any guide, the Dubai crowd will arrive in uniform. Much like the bald caps at Pitbull concerts, Himesh loyalists have been turning up in his signature cap and turning arenas into seas of headwear.
The production promises big feelings, bigger choruses and a night built for dancing. Tickets to see Himesh Reshammiya live in Dubai go on sale today at 12pm, so set your reminders, rally the group chat and get your look in order.
Keep those caps ready, because Himesh Reshammiya is bringing “Tandoori Nights” to Dubai.
