Pakistani pop idol Atif Aslam joins Sami Yusuf for Abu Dhabi concert
Get ready for a night of spiritual harmony, acoustic classics, and immersive musical storytelling
ABU DHABI: Pakistani superstar Atif Aslam will headline the “Symphony of Stars: The Soulful Experience” concert at Yas Bay’s Etihad Arena on 7th November 2025.
He will be joined by British-Iranian singer Sami Yusuf – together they’ll deliver a night devoted to soul and spirituality.
Billed as focusing on “soul, spirituality, and transcendent music”, the event follows last year’s sold-out concert and promises an intimate, emotionally rich show.
Line-up details
Atif Aslam, a household name in South Asian pop, is known for his soulful ballads and stage charisma. He will offer a stripped-back, acoustic set that revisits his greatest hits while introducing material from his latest project, Borderless World.
Aslam will offer an acoustic, emotionally rich set revisiting his greatest hits alongside fresh tracks. Fans can expect unplugged, intimate renditions of favourites (think Dil Diyan Gallan or Kuch Is Tarah) that showcase his vocals and create a sense of nostalgia.
Joining Aslam is world-music pioneer Sami Yusuf, whose set includes spiritually resonant tracks like Nasimi and Existentia. Yusuf’s performance blends classical motifs with contemporary flair, creating a multi-sensory experience that complements the evening’s soulful theme.
