The Live in Concert tour, which spans four dates, will next head to Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on September 16, followed by Rotterdam’s RTM Stage on September 19, and concluding at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on September 22.
Arijit Singh expressed his enthusiasm for the tour on Instagram, writing, “UK & Europe, Starting THIS Sunday at London’s O2 Arena, followed by stops at Birmingham, Rotterdam, and wrapping up with the first-ever South Asian show at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena. Can’t wait to see you all there!”
This isn’t Ed Sheeran’s first high-profile collaboration with Indian artists. Earlier this year, during the final leg of his Mathematics Tour in Mumbai, Sheeran performed alongside actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, thrilling fans by singing a verse of Dosanjh’s 2021 hit “Lover” in Punjabi.
Sheeran also made headlines during his India visit by meeting Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana, and appearing on Kapil Sharma’s popular talk show, Breakfast with Champions.
Singh’s tour continues to capture attention, promising more unforgettable moments for fans across Europe.
