Arjit Singh is sure to get the crowd swooning with his performances of two of the two most-loved hits from Aashiqui 2 – Tum Hi Ho and Sunn Raha Hai. Harshdeep Kaur and Neeti Mohan will also be taking the stage to perform some of their most famous ballads.
Dubai Music Week will run from 24-29 September and include exciting live concert performances from Will.I.Am, Timbaland and Selena Gomez and more.
