Punjabi-Canadian Star Shubh is Coming to Dubai for One Show Only
Dubai has seen plenty of big names take over its stages, but this October feels a little different. It’s about to get a dose of hard-hitting Punjabi rap like it’s never heard before. On Sunday, October 5, 2025, Punjabi-Canadian rapper Shubh will bring his Supreme Tour to the Coca-Cola Arena, his first time performing in the UAE, and a night fans have been waiting for.
A Global Punjabi Wave Lands in Duba

Over the past few years, Punjabi music has smashed through borders, finding fans from Toronto to London, Melbourne to Dubai. Right in the middle of that rising wave is Shubh — the guy behind tracks like Still Rollin’, Cheques, and Elevated, songs that have turned into anthems for a whole new crowd of fans.
He grew up in Punjab, later moved to Canada, and somehow manages to mix the heart and storytelling of desi music with the attitude of Western rap. The result? A sound that’s raw but polished, familiar yet fresh. His beats have punch, his words have weight, and when he’s on stage, all eyes are locked on him — whether it’s in a packed Canadian stadium or a sweaty outdoor show halfway across the world.
Now, it’s Dubai’s turn. And if his previous sold-out shows are any clue, Fans can expect booming beats you’ll feel in your chest, razor-sharp rhymes that stick in your head, and an atmosphere so charged
For Dubai’s large South Asian community, Shubh’s arrival feels home coming. His tracks hit differently for the Punjabi diaspora — talking about ambition, grind, and that constant pull back to home, all on top of beats that make it almost impossible to sit still.
And it’s not just the Punjabi crowd vibing with him anymore. Over the past few years, Punjabi rap has caught on with Arabs, Africans, Europeans, even Latin music lovers around the Gulf. That’s why shows like this end up feeling less like a niche concert and more like a giant, mixed-up street party.
At Coca-Cola Arena, you can expect a crowd that’s as diverse as the city itself — all there for one reason, to vibe.
What to Expect on the Night

If you’ve seen clips from The Supreme Tour, you already know Shubh doesn’t do minimal. The Dubai show promises:
High-energy performances of all his biggest hits, live DJ sets to keep the crowd moving between songs, immersive stage visuals and lighting designed to match the intensity of his music
Fan interaction moments, because a Shubh show is as much about connection as it is about performance. Doors open at 9:00 PM, and from then on, expect the tempo to stay high until the last track drops.
Conclusion
Bringing Shubh to Dubai says a lot — about how far Punjabi music has traveled and how much people in the Middle East are hungry for it. It isn’t stopping here either. Organizers are already teasing more names from India’s hip-hop and Punjabi scenes heading to the UAE soon. But for now? All roads lead to October 5 One night. One artist. One arena full of people ready to sing every word.
