World-renowned Punjabi artists to perform at Glasgow’s ‘Bhangra Blowout’ event

A trio of world-famous Punjabi music artists will be performing during a 'Bhangra Blowout' concert in the city centre next weekend.

Sahara, H-Dhami and JK will keep crowds entertained during a stand-up concert at the Classic Grand, in Jamaica Street, on January 28.

The concert will include powerful dhol performances from Royal Dhol Force and VIP Entertainment's DJ Kunal will also be on set during the fun-filled night.

Bhangra Blowout has been organised by events company Universal Promotions, which has been running since 1999.

Since then they've hosted club events and concerts promoting the best of Punjabi music - and next weekend's extravaganza is set to be huge.

The stage production - which includes screens and special effects - is something which promoter Shandy Kambo says is going to bring the "wow factor".

He told Glasgow Live: "There’s a mix of artists for all age groups at Bhangra Blowout. The artists are very popular and full of energy.

"They are bringing brand new music to the stage and their entertainment levels are very high.

"We try to do something different with every event we do and this time we have nudged it up by three or four levels. It’s a full-on concert and a great night for people to start their 2023 and enjoy it with family and friends, I’m very excited."

Tickets for the event start at £25 and go up to £65 for a meet-and-greet with the artists. They cannot be purchased on the night and must be bought in advance.

Shandy added: "We keep representing the culture and promoting Punjabi music and want the younger generation attached to Punjabi music at the same time.

"We have recently seen other cultures join us, Scottish people have come along as well and other cultures have joined so it can be multicultural and is open to everybody willing to come and enjoy themselves.

"With music, it’s not essential that you must understand it because it’s a beat and everybody appreciates good music. I hope that people get behind the event and support it.

"It’s a big event and something Glasgow really needs."

Doors open at 6.30pm before the event starts at 7.30pm on Saturday, January 28. Book your tickets here.
