Chart-topping singer-songwriter Anuv Jain is set to bring his debut world tour, Dastakhat, to the UAE with a live performance in Dubai on April 12, 2026, at Dubai Expo City. Marking his third appearance in the region, the show highlights Jain’s deepening connection with Middle Eastern audiences and the cross-border resonance of his music. The Dubai concert will be produced and promoted by Team Innovation International in association with Live Nation Middle East.
Designed as an intimate, limited-capacity experience for just 3,000 fans, the Dubai leg promises a rare, close-up encounter with one of Indian independent music’s most influential voices. Curated to mirror the quiet vulnerability and emotional depth of Jain’s songwriting, the evening will feature immersive production and stripped-back performances, allowing audiences to experience his evocative soundscapes in a setting that prioritises connection over scale.
Dastakhat marks a defining milestone in Anuv Jain’s career as his first-ever world tour and one of the most expansive global tours by an Indian independent artist to date. The tour follows a 10-city India run across New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Pune, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Indore, Mumbai, Jaipur and Bengaluru between January and February 2026. Spanning 23 cities worldwide across 2026 and 2027, the tour will travel through Australia, North America, the UK and Europe, placing Jain firmly on a global stage while retaining the emotional intimacy that has shaped his journey so far.
Speaking about the tour, Anuv Jain shared, “Dastakhat feels like signing my name on a story that began years ago, one that’s still being written with every person who listens, sings along, or feels something through my songs. Bringing this tour to Dubai feels especially meaningful. It’s an embrace of familiar faces and new ones, and a reminder of how far this music has travelled.”
Sagar Chandwani, Founder, Team Innovation International, said, “Dubai has always been a key cultural hub with a passionate and cosmopolitan audience. Bringing Anuv Jain’s Dastakhat World Tour to the UAE is about creating an experience that feels intimate, authentic and unforgettable. This tour reflects the global rise of Indian independent music and Anuv’s rare ability to connect across cultures.”
James Craven, President, Live Nation Middle East, added, “Anuv Jain’s music speaks to a generation through its honesty and emotional depth, and his global rise has been remarkable. Dubai thrives on cultural exchange, and hosting the Dastakhat World Tour here feels like a natural fit. We’re excited to collaborate with Team Innovation International to deliver an intimate, world-class live experience and spotlight the international reach of Indian independent music.”
Following the success of his earlier tours , Dastakein (2021) and Guldasta (2023) , Dastakhat completes a powerful trilogy that traces Jain’s artistic evolution. From deeply personal performances that helped shape India’s indie movement to tours that redefined the scale of success for homegrown artists, Dastakhat stands as both a culmination and a new beginning. Rooted in themes of love, heartbreak, longing and vulnerability, Anuv Jain’s music continues to forge emotional connections that transcend geography, language and culture.
