Dubai’s cultural calendar gains a significant addition as the city prepares to host an exclusive ‘Baithak’ evening featuring renowned Indian singer-lyricist Piyush Mishra on January 24, 2026. The event, scheduled at Raj Mahal Royal Plaza within Riverland at Dubai Parks & Resorts, promises an immersive experience that transcends conventional concert formats.
Organized by Showoff Entertainment and Opus Entertainment, with Emirates NBD as presenting sponsor, the Baithak concept reimagines traditional South Asian cultural gatherings for contemporary audiences. The setup offers attendees a choice between authentic floor seating on mattresses or conventional chairs, creating an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of classical mehfils.
Piyush Mishra, celebrated as one of India’s most influential cultural figures, brings his multifaceted artistry to the Dubai stage. Known for his profound poetry, evocative songwriting, and compelling theatrical background, Mishra has developed a distinctive style that seamlessly merges literary excellence with musical expression. His performances typically encompass Bollywood compositions, ghazals, and original poetic works, creating a diverse artistic presentation.
The Baithak initiative represents a conscious effort to support Indian artists internationally while preserving traditional cultural expressions. The organizers have previously collaborated with notable performers including Swanand Kirkire, Akanksha Grover, and other acclaimed Indian artists, establishing a reputation for quality cultural programming.
Practical details indicate doors opening at 7:00 PM with performances commencing at 9:00 PM. Ticket pricing begins at Dh150, available exclusively through Platinumlist platforms. This event continues Dubai’s emergence as a significant hub for cross-cultural artistic exchanges, particularly within the South Asian expatriate community.
