One musical maestro. Two nights in two cities. Three different performances.




Iconic Pakistani artist, Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, has confirmed two shows in Durban and Johannesburg this July as part of his much-anticipated brand new world tour, Me, Myself & I.  In a first for this musical maestro and international award-winning artist, Rahat will be performing a special 3-segment concert that brings a unique fusion of musical brilliance on the 13th July at the Durban ICC and the 14th July at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg.

I am especially proud and excited to be bringing this new tour to South Africa.  Me, Myself & I is entirely different to my previous tours.  This show is different and fresh and my fans will experience three types of music genres in one concert,” comments Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. 

Me, myself & I is guaranteed to be a sound & production sensation that will include an unplugged session with an array of talented young musicians and the soulful vocals of the maestro; RFAK’s hit Bollywood songs including Dehkte Dehkte, Tere Bin from Simba, Rashke Qama, Nit Khair Mange and more hits from his past three decades; and an incredible musical journey with Rahat’s mesmerising and soulful Qawwali hits.
