Overview

  • Arijit Singh announced the indefinite postponement of his Abu Dhabi concert, originally scheduled for May 9, citing recent geopolitical developments.
  • Ticket holders can retain their tickets for the rescheduled date or request refunds between May 12 and May 19, 2025.
  • The decision follows India’s Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians.
  • Pakistan responded to the Indian strikes with missile and drone attacks, all of which were reportedly neutralized by Indian forces.
  • Other artists, including Shreya Ghoshal and AP Dhillon, have also postponed or canceled performances and releases due to rising regional tensions.
