And, she’s hitting the stage in Dubai World Trade Centre on Saturday, July 19. Trust us, it’s going to be one helluva emotional rollercoaster with full-on desi feels. An evening that will take you from melancholy to mirth and everything in between in a jiffy.

Besides, if you were a school going kid in the early ’00s, it’s a no-brainer that you grew up listening to her songs! Chances are your first dance performance was to Dola Re. You’ve probably belted out “Chahun Main Ya Na” in your room at 2AM. Maybe even imagined swaying with your soulmate to “Yeh Ishq Hai” with the snow-capped mountains of Gulmarg playing backdrop. Bollywood dreams, we know! While you may or may not have manifested any of this, Dubai is handing you the mic and the moment to relive it all with this epic concert! This isn’t just a concert; it’s your entire Spotify Wrapped of emotions coming to life.
“Performing in Dubai always feels like coming home to a family that sings with me, smiles with me, and celebrates music from the heart. I can’t wait to create magic together once again this July,” says Shreya Ghoshal. From her big break in Devdas to topping Bollywood charts for over two decades, Shreya is a whole mood. With 3,000+ songs in 20 languages, five National Awards, and performances at Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House, she’s earned her spot as the GOAT of Indian playback singing.
And now, she’s ready to make Dubai sing along – from the front row to the last seat in the house!
