Sonu Nigam's 'Deewana Tera' tour opens in Guwahati with tribute to Zubeen Garg

Sonu Nigam kicked off his 'Deewana Tera' tour in Guwahati with a powerful tribute to Zubeen Garg, performing hits for a roaring, emotional crowd.

"This tribute is not mine alone; it belongs to all of Assam. - Sonu Nigam"

Guwahati, December 15

Popular Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam performed in Guwahati on Sunday night as part of his much-anticipated concert tour, 'Deewana Tera'. He opened his performance with a soulful tribute to Assam's musical icon Zubeen Garg.

The evening saw an overwhelming audience turnout, reflecting the region's deep-rooted love of music.

Living up to his earlier remark that "Assam is different" and that performing here means singing before "knowledgeable and music-loving people," Sonu Nigam delivered one of the most memorable musical evenings the city has seen in recent years. The crowd's energy and the night's emotional significance made the tour's opening show particularly special.

Sonu Nigam performed some of his most cherished songs, including Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Deewana Tera, Main Agar Kahoon, Suraj Hua Maddham and Sandese Aate Hain. Each performance was met with roaring applause and full-house sing-alongs, as the audience swayed, danced and often sang louder than the stage itself.

During a deeply moving moment, Sonu Nigam performed "Mayabini" in tribute to Zubeen Garg, eliciting an emotional response from the crowd.

Reflecting on his bond with Assam, Sonu Nigam stated, "This tribute is not mine alone; it belongs to all of Assam."

Sharing memories of his long-standing friendship with Zubeen Garg, Sonu Nigam said they had been friends since 1997 and that many cherished moments tied him to Assam through Zubeen. He also acknowledged the immense love the people of Assam have always shown towards the late musician.

Ramesh Menon, CEO, Radio & Entertainment, Fever Network, said in a statement, "Seeing Guwahati come together for Sonu Nigam's first solo concert in the city was truly special. Assam has a unique and heartfelt relationship with music, and you see that clearly in how the people continue to honour Zubeen Garg and his legacy. We are grateful for the love the city has shown, and this strong start sets the pace for an exciting season of concerts and IP-led experiences we have lined up across India."

Following the successful opening in Guwahati, the Deewana Tera tour will move to Indore, Jaipur, and Lucknow, offering audiences across India a specially curated musical experience featuring Sonu Nigam's most-loved songs.

Sonu Nigam is a true artist. His voice is timeless. Performing "Mayabini" must have been an incredibly emotional moment for everyone present. Guwahati audiences are the best, they don't just listen, they participate. Great start to the tour!

It's good to see big artists touring in the North-East. Often we feel concerts only happen in Mumbai/Delhi. Hope this encourages more tours in Guwahati, Shillong, and other cities here. The love for music is immense.

The setlist is a dream! "Sandese Aate Hain" live must have been powerful. While the tribute is touching, I do wish the article gave a bit more context about Zubeen Garg's work for readers outside Assam who may not know his legacy.

Sonu Nigam said it right - Assam is different. The connection people there have with artists, especially local legends like Zubeen da, is something else. This concert sounds like it was more than just music, it was a celebration of that bond. Joi Aai Axom!

Fantastic news! But the ticket prices for these concerts are getting out of reach for the common fan. I hope when the tour comes to my city, they have some affordable categories. Music should be for everyone, not just the elite.
