July at the Durban ICC and the 14th July at Emperors Palace in

“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

Khan is well-known for his Qawwali music (explosive devotional music of the
Sufis of Pakistan and the Indian sub-continent) and also performs ghazals and
other light music.
“We’ve
already seen some of the best in Bollywood on our stages this year and Rahat
Fateh Ali Khan is no exception! We are
excited to have him return to South Africa and showcase yet again why he is
undoubtedly one of the greatest music legends of our time,” comments Osman
