WATCH: Shubh lights up Dubai with first ever live concert
Imran Khan stuns crowd with surprise ‘Amplifier’ performance
DUBAI – Punjabi-Canadian rapper Shubh finally made his Middle East debut last night at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena, and the performance delivered exactly what fans had anticipated.
The sold-out arena pulsated with energy as Shubh powered through his hits and unveiled new tracks, delivering a night that many are already calling the Supreme Experience.
He performed a full setlist including chart-toppers such as Cheques, Still Rollin, Elevated, One Love, and Supreme, interspersed with fresh material that drew cheers and applause. Visuals, lighting and stagecraft elevated each moment, complementing his dynamic presence and connecting with fans across the venue.
Presented by Studio Majime Dubai and DXB Live, the event also delivered a surprise twist – Dutch-Pakistani singer-songwriter and rapper Imran Khan made a spontaneous entry, treating the crowd to a live performance of his hit Amplifier.
That surprise earned one of the loudest cheers of the night and added a special layer to the evening’s spectacle.

The Coca-Cola Arena appeared to be packed to capacity. The mix of floor and tiered seating was frequently shown filled, with audience members on their feet throughout much of the show.
Ticket prices had ranged from Dh195 up to Dh3,750, and many fans report they purchased tickets months in advance.
Born Shubhneet Singh in Punjab and raised in Toronto, Canada, Shubh has rapidly emerged as one of the most influential voices in Punjabi hip-hop. Blending sharp lyricism with melodic flows, he bridges cultures through a sound that fuses Punjabi folk with modern rap and R&B.
