Arijit Singh became the first Indian artist to headline a UK stadium, with his only European date of 2025 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Arijit Singh, the most-streamed artist in India on Spotify for seven years running, headlined Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday 5 September 2025. He was the first Indian artist to headline a UK stadium.
Singh was born in 1987 in Jiaganj, West Bengal, and began his career in 2005 as a contestant on the reality show Fame Gurukul. He then worked as a music programmer and assistant to composers including Pritam before his Hindi film debut in 2011.
“Tum Hi Ho”, from the 2013 film Aashiqui 2, won him his first Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer. His eighth win, for “Sajni” in 2025, equalled Kishore Kumar’s record in that category.
He also received the Padma Shri in 2025, one of India’s highest civilian honours. He has sung more than 500 playback songs for Indian cinema.
About 40,000 people held tickets for the London show, his only European date of the year. Nearly 50 million people a month listen to his music.
