The vision is to make Dhamaka an iconic movement, that will symbolise togetherness and multiculturalism in the UK. Sonu Niigaam and Atif Aslam coming together does just that. I wanted to make history and I wanted to make a show that even I would want to attend if I wasn’t creating it. You’re not even 30 yet and you’re already making history, bringing India and Pakistan together, musically? I also want to show people a new venue, especially as it’s the world’s number venue for music. Most shows take place in the West of London and I really wanted to bring something to the East End, back to my roots. I wanted to play the O2 because it’s an emerald of a venue in the UK and world renowned. The O2 is the world’s most famous venue – an ambitious choice? The name came to me when I was thinking that I wanted to do an explosive mega concert and hence the name ‘Dhamaka’, which means just that – ‘explosion’. I created Dhamaka because I wanted to do something that people would remember and everyone will relate to. Naz Choudhury, a dancer and businessman and the brains behind this historic event, speaks to Stacey Yount about the Road to Dhamaka.

Dhamaka brings together for the first time ever singers Sonu Niigaam and Atif Aslam in a concert that is set to captivate music lovers the world over. Coming up on the 22nd of April at the world famous O2 in London is a concert not to be missed.
