Indian singer Arijit Singh has pushed the date of his upcoming live show in Abu Dhabi in light of the tense situation between India and Pakistan. On Thursday, Arijit's team took to their Instagram, and shared a note in which he spoke about pushing the May 9 show to a later date.

Arijit Singh cancels Abu Dhabi concert

They wrote, "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".

He further mentioned that the purchased tickets for the show will remain valid for the new date, or attendees can also opt for a full refund.

"All purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date, or you may opt for a full refund within 7 days, starting 12 May 2025 (Monday). Thank you for your continued love and support, we look forward to creating unforgettable memories with you soon. With love, Team Arijit Singh Live", he added.

This comes amid rising tension between India and Pakistan which started with the Pahalgam terror attack last month. On May 7, India launched retaliatory strikes on 9 terror sites in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor.

Post the attack on Pakistan and rising tension at border areas, the makers of Rajkummar Rao's upcoming film Bhool Chuk Maaf also called off the film's theatrical release. The film will now be released on OTT on May 16.

When Arijit Singh cancelled Chennai concert

Last month after the Pahalgam terror attack, Arijit Singh had cancelled his Chennai concert.

After the attack as well, Arijit Singh had cancelled his concert in Chennai.

The note shared by Arijit Singh read, "In light of the recent and tragic events, the organisers along with the artist have collectively made the decision to cancel the upcoming show scheduled to happen in Chennai this Sunday, April 27".

The singer and the organisers assured the attendees that they are liable to a full refund which will shortly reflect in the original source of their payment.
