Your live singer in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the capital and political centre of the UAE, with the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the long Corniche as its landmarks. The BAPS Hindu Mandir at Abu Mreikhah, opened in 2024, has become a focus of the Indian community and a source of festival programmes.

The city’s professionals include engineers, bankers, doctors and civil servants, many with families who have lived here for decades. Weddings are held in the large hotels, and corporate events and government functions are common.

The programme follows local licensing, arranged by the venue or a local event company. A Hindi, Sufi and devotional set suits the audience, and the band confirms the sound and schedule on arrival.

The year in Abu Dhabi

The main season runs from October to April. UAE National Day on 2 December, Diwali, Navratri and Eid bring events. Summers are extremely hot, with events held indoors.

A set list for an Abu Dhabi evening

Corporate dinners suit smooth Hindi and English songs such as Tum Hi Ho and Perfect. A temple-community evening begins with bhajans, and a National Day tribute may include a short instrumental tribute to the host country before the main set.

Venues and practicalities in Abu Dhabi

Receptions in Abu Dhabi usually take the ballrooms of the large hotels on the Corniche, on Saadiyat and Yas islands and near the Grand Mosque. Community festivals use the Indian Social and Cultural Centre and school halls in Mussafah and Khalifa City, where many families live, and smaller gatherings happen in villa compounds.

The city keeps a quieter pace than Dubai. Events start on time, finish on time and rarely run past midnight, and the programme is planned to land its final song before the cut-off. In summer every event moves indoors, and a sound check in the cool of the morning saves the band from setting up in the afternoon heat.
