Revered Indian composer, producer, and songwriter A.R. Rahman has announced a 16-date tour of North America for this summer.
Dubbed The Wonderment Tour, the run of shows will be Rahman’s first in North America since 2022. The immersive live concert experience launches in Vancouver on July 18 and sees Rahman performing at arenas throughout the country until the tour’s completion in Boston on Aug. 17. Tickets to the upcoming dates go on sale from 10am ET on Friday, March 28.
Rahman’s career in the music industry began in 1992, and over the ensuing three decades has composed scores for more than 150 films, resulting in record sales of more than 200 million in the process.
A celebrated figure within the Indian film and music industry, Rahman’s international breakthrough came about thanks to Danny Boyle’s 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire. At the 2009 Academy Awards, Rahman took home the award for best original score, and shared the best original song statue with Gulzar for the song “Jai Ho.” In 2009, a collaboration with American group The Pussycat Dolls saw a version of the song reach No. 15 on the Hot 100.
Rahman would again collaborate with Boyle on the 2010 film 127 Hours, while that year’s Grammy Awards would also see him take home two trophies for his work on Slumdog Millionaire. Alongside his prolific composing career, Rahman has also released numerous studio albums under his own name, and also expanded his sights further into the world of film as a producer, writer, and director in recent years.
