Singer Arijit Singh has officially postponed his upcoming concert in Abu Dhabi due to the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. The concert, originally scheduled for May 9, 2025, at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island, has been put on hold as a precautionary measure.
The announcement was made via Instagram on May 8, through a statement from Arijit Singh’s team. The note read: “Dear Fans, due to recent events, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Arijit Singh live concert in Abu Dhabi, originally scheduled for 9 May 2025, at the Etihad Arena, Yas Island. We deeply appreciate your patience, support, and understanding during this time. We are working closely with the venue and the new date will be announced soon.”

This development comes amid heightened conflict between the two nations following India’s retaliatory strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan. The action was in response to the deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam, reportedly backed by Pakistan-based terrorists, which resulted in 26 casualties.
Arijit Singh had recently also cancelled another concert in Chennai due to the same concerns. A note shared on his Instagram Stories from the event organisers informed fans of the Chennai show’s cancellation.
As tensions continue to impact public gatherings, fans are eagerly awaiting further updates about the new concert date and potential changes to the singer’s tour schedule.
