Etihad Arena will host Symphony of Stars: The Soulful Experience bringing together Atif Aslam and Sami Yusuf
Two powerhouse voices, one unforgettable night.
On 7 November 2025, Etihad Arena will host Symphony of Stars: The Soulful Experience; a musical encounter that brings together Atif Aslam and Sami Yusuf, two of the most respected artists in the world of spiritually driven and globally resonant music.
This year’s edition of Symphony of Stars is set to build on the legacy of its sold-out predecessor.
The 2024 event, which paired Atif Aslam with the legendary Abida Parveen, earned acclaim for its unique blend of introspective music and powerful live energy.
This year, the creative vision continues; deeper, richer, and more immersive.
Atif Aslam, a household name in South Asian music and beyond, returns to the UAE with a performance that promises to be both intimate and expansive.
Known for his ability to move audiences with raw emotion and depth, Atif will bring a thoughtfully stripped-down setlist to the arena, offering fans a rare glimpse into the heart of his musical journey.
Expect renditions of beloved classics alongside fresh interpretations, all threaded through with the themes of unity and emotional honesty that define his Borderless World project.
