Sufi singer Bismil is set to take his live property Bismil Ki Mehfil to international audiences through a five-show tour across the UAE, Qatar, the UK, Singapore and Malaysia.
Pantheon Art, Culture & Real Estate (ACR) and HOP Events have signed an exclusive agreement with the singer for the international tour. The announcement was made on November 12 in the presence of Kalpesh Kinariwala, Founder and Chairman of Pantheon ACR and HOP Events. Dates, venues and ticketing details are expected to be announced later.
The development marks another step in Pantheon's expansion into the art, culture and live entertainment space. The initiative also aims to take Indian cultural and musical experiences to international markets.
Commenting on the collaboration, Kinariwala said that the initiative is aimed at taking cultural experiences beyond geographical boundaries. He noted that Bismil's music brings together tradition, authenticity and contemporary artistic expression, making it relevant for audiences across markets.
Bismil, who has been classically trained since the age of five, has developed Bismil Ki Mehfil as a contemporary interpretation of the traditional mehfil format. The property combines Sufi poetry, emotional storytelling and music to create an intimate experience for audiences.
Speaking about the international expansion, Bismil said the property represents emotions, poetry, love and the connections that music creates between people. He also expressed gratitude to Kinariwala, Pantheon ACR and HOP Events for supporting the vision and taking the experience to five international destinations.
HOP Events will oversee the planning and execution of all five shows, drawing on its experience in large-scale cultural productions.
The announcement comes amid growing international interest in South Asian music and Sufi traditions, with live entertainment companies increasingly exploring opportunities to take regional musical properties to global audiences.
