Rising music star Ammar Baig made a powerful impression during the Legacy of the Khans 2025 Tour, as he opened for the legendary Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan at two of the UK’s biggest venues — OVO Arena Wembley in London and AO Arena Manchester.

 

On April 5 and 6, Baig wowed audiences with his live unplugged performances, singing both Bollywood and classical songs using just a guitar and a microphone. His setlist included hits like Beedi, Channa Mereya, O Re Piya, Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain (Chupke Chupke), Sia’s Chandelier, and the iconic Hungama Hai Kyun Barpa.

 

The crowd was left in awe, and even Rahat Fateh Ali Khan praised Ammar’s performance, calling him “very talented” and saying his work deserves global recognition.

 

Rahat also announced a special collaboration with Baig, alongside his son Shahzaman Khan. “Ammar is like my own son,” Rahat said. “His live performances are captivating, and we’re working on a song together which will release soon.”

 

Music producer Vijay Bhola, the man behind Rahat’s UK tour, also applauded Baig: “His raw, emotional vocals and stripped-down arrangements created an intimate vibe that touched every heart in the arena.”

 

Ammar Baig, who is the son of legendary Pakistani singer Waris Baig, continues to carry forward his father’s legacy with a modern touch. Waris Baig, known for timeless tracks like "Mujhe Chand Chahiye", "Challa", and "Aa Pyar Dil Mein Basa", has long been respected for his soulful singing and emotional depth.

Fans flooded Ammar’s Instagram with love and appreciation, commenting:

“You were amazing last night!”
