Renowned singer Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan beat his previous record of singing to a packaged audience at London’s iconic Wembley Ovo as nearly 12,000 people attended the show to sing and dance with him. This was Rahat’s first show in London after a break of two years and he lived up to his reputation as the current King of Qawwali and Sufi music.
Invited to perform at three shows in Birmingham, London and Manchester, Rahat won huge acclaim at all three sold-out venues but the biggest highlight of the “Legacy Of The Khans 2025 Tour” was London owing to the capacity of the venue. This was the first time that Rahat’s son Shah Zaman Ali Khan performed at this venue, and he won huge praise for his unique singing style, instantly drawing comparisons with the great Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The 20-year-old sang around five solo Qawwali songs where his father acted as a backup.
