Book Indian Artists in the UAE: Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Tell us about the audience
UAE audiences are often mixed: families from different Indian states, colleagues from many countries, or a community group with a shared language. Tell us the languages your guests enjoy, such as Hindi, Punjabi, Malayalam, Tamil or Telugu, and their age range. This helps choose between a Bollywood playback singer, a Punjabi singer, a South Indian singer or a Sufi and qawwali group.
Describe the mood as well: a lively wedding finale, a calm dinner set, a festival performance or a short appearance during an awards evening.
Venue and setting
Share the emirate, the city and the venue, or your shortlist if it is not booked yet. Say whether the event is indoors or outdoors, seated or standing, and how many guests you expect. For an outdoor event, mention the month, since weather shapes outdoor planning.
Permissions, travel and production
Event permits are typically handled through local authorities, for example DET in Dubai and DCT in Abu Dhabi. The organiser or venue confirms the requirements. Work authorisation, permits and tax requirements depend on the country and the event, and are confirmed case by case with the relevant management. Nothing is pre-arranged.
Travel and stay are arranged by the organiser as specified by the management. Sound, lights and stage are arranged by the organiser, usually through the venue or local suppliers, and the management shares technical and hospitality requirements as the enquiry progresses.
Programme and timing
Share the running order: guest arrival, dinner, speeches or ceremonies, and the slot for the artist. Mention if your date is flexible, as it gives more room in the discussion.
Submit the enquiry as early as possible; overseas events need more time for travel and permissions. Wait for confirmation before announcing the artist on invitations or online.
