Oscar and Grammy-winning composer-songwriter AR Rahman is set to perform in Hyderabad as a part of his ‘The Wonderment Tour’.
While Mumbai’s show was a part of the global premiere, Hyderabad will be a standalone stadium concert called ‘The Wonderment Hyderabad | A.R. Rahman Live’.
Scheduled for November 8 at Ramoji Film City, Rahman will be performing in Hyderabad after an eight-year hiatus, following his iconic ‘Encore Tour’ in 2017, which celebrated a quarter-century in music.
Now, ‘The Wonderment Tour’ commemorates three decades of Rahman`s music through some his most iconic homegrown and international film scores, cherished soundtracks and innovative new material.
Seeing an audience of 50,000 in Mumbai, the singer will embark on the next chapter of ‘The Wonderment Tour’ before upcoming engagements across the United States and Canada.
With music in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English, Rahman’s setlist will blend high-energy anthems such as ‘Jai Ho’, ‘Dil Se’, ‘Lagaan’, ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ and ‘Urvashi Urvashi’ with deeply moving ballads like ‘Kun Faya Kun’, ‘Uyire’, ‘Roja’, ‘Bombay’ and ‘Snehithudaa’ — all brought to life with dynamic LED displays, orchestral arrangements, and immersive visuals.
AR Rahman states, “With Hyderabad, there has always been a reciprocal exchange of musical energy. This concert is dedicated to those who still cherish the experience of live music and the profound immersion it offers. With `The AR Rahman Live in Concert,` our objective is to convey that every note, every rhythm, narrates a story. I aspire to merge tradition with innovation, bridging the past and the future in a grand celebration of music.”
