Srinagar is all set to host its first-ever large-scale live concert, and the excitement is through the roof! The Sonu Nigam Dal Lake concert will take place on October 26 at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC), set against the breathtaking backdrop of Dal Lake.
The event will feature Sonu Nigam performing his most celebrated Bollywood hits, along with a soulful tribute to the legendary Mohammed Rafi. This landmark musical evening also marks the first major cultural event in the valley after the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025 — symbolizing hope, art, and peace returning to Kashmir through music. The Sonu Nigam Dal Lake concert is expected to draw massive crowds of fans and music enthusiasts.
Stage Set For A Magical Night At Dal Lake
Preparations are in full swing for the concert. Workers are setting up a grand stage near Dal Lake, positioning lighting and audio systems, and ensuring safety checks ahead of the performance. On the day of the event, final system tests will be carried out to guarantee a smooth and secure show.
Sharing his excitement, Sonu Nigam said, “It is special because we have not seen the celebration of 100 years of the late Mohammed Rafi Sahab at Dal Lake. Celebrating his legacy in Kashmir — my guru, my inspiration — is going to be truly wonderful.” The Sonu Nigam Dal Lake concert will not only celebrate music but also the spirit of Kashmir.
Kashmiri Artists To Open The Historic Event
The evening will open with local stars adding their own charm. Srinagar-based singer Qazi Touqueer, winner of Fame Gurukul 2005, will kick off the night, followed by Kashmiri singer, composer, and producer Rauhan Malik. Their performances will set the stage for an unforgettable night at the Sonu Nigam Dal Lake concert.
