The moment the first notes of “Rabba Sacheya” echoed through the arena, the crowd erupted in excitement. This set the tone for an evening full of energy and emotion. Atif’s stage presence was magnetic, drawing in every person in the audience. His setlist blended rock anthems like “Aadat” with soulful ballads such as “Tere Bin”. Fans were in for a surprise when he performed a Bruno Mars cover, showcasing his versatility and global appeal.
Reflecting on his deep connection with Dubai, Atif shared: “Dubai has always been special to me. The love I receive here is unmatched, and it’s what keeps me coming back year after year.”
Music critic @sadiqidas praised the performance, calling Atif “the OG crowd-puller, just as strong when it comes to live singing.”
A Historic Collaboration with Dana Al Meer
