Experience the Magic of A.R. Rahman Live – Buy Tickets & Hospitality in London
September 2025Few composers have reshaped Indian film music and captured global audiences like A.R. Rahman. For those looking to experience his music live, A.R. Rahman tickets are highly sought after. Born Dileep Kumar in Chennai, he began playing keyboards at four and worked as a session musician to support his family after his father’s death. By his teens, he was already producing advertising jingles, and a chance meeting with director Mani Ratnam led to his first film score, Roja (1992). Rahman’s fusion of classical Indian music with contemporary sounds made the soundtrack a sensation, and it later appeared on Time’s list of the ten best film soundtracks, featuring songs such as “Chinna Chinna Aasai,” “Puthu Vellai Mazhai,” and “Thamizha Thamizha”. Since then, he has scored over 150 films, sold more than 300 million records, and become one of the world’s top‑selling recording artists.

A Legacy of Awards & Global Recognition
Rahman’s trophy case reflects his stature as the “Mozart of Madras.” For Slumdog Millionaire (2008), he won two Academy Awards at the 81st Oscars – Best Original Score and Best Original Song (“Jai Ho”). The same film’s score earned him a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and two Grammy Awards. He repeated this success with 127 Hours (2010), collecting additional Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. Rahman has amassed at least seven National Film Awards, 18 Filmfare Awards, 16 IIFA Awards, and hundreds of other honours, including India’s Padma Bhushan. Time magazine named him one of the world’s 100 most influential people, and he was recently appointed Honorary President of Trinity Laban Conservatoire.
Diverse Musical Style
Rahman’s sound blends Carnatic and Hindustani classical, jazz, folk, reggae, soft rock, and global electronic influences. Critics praise his ability to weave natural sounds with modern instrumentation and technology, creating albums that feel both traditional and futuristic. His Vande Mataram (1997) album – released to celebrate India’s 50th year of independence – remains the best‑selling Indian non‑film album. Rahman has also collaborated on international projects such as Bombay Dreams with Andrew Lloyd Webber, bringing Bollywood to London’s West End and Broadway.
Iconic Songs & Albums
Rahman’s catalogue is filled with songs that defined generations. A few highlights include:
- “Chinna Chinna Aasai,” “Puthu Vellai Mazhai,” and “Thamizha Thamizha” from Roja – the album that placed him on Time’s list of the ten best soundtracks.
- “Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire – the anthem that won an Oscar, Golden Globe, and Grammy.
- “Chaiyya Chaiyya” from Dil Se (1998) – a global hit remembered for its infectious Sufi‑folk beat and train‑top choreography.
- “Radha Kaise Na Jale” from Lagaan (2001) and “Taal Se Taal Mila” from Taal (1999) – songs blending classical Indian melodies with contemporary rhythms.
- “Kun Faya Kun” (Rockstar, 2011) – a Qawwali‑inspired track that has become a spiritual favourite.
- “Vande Mataram” – the stirring title song from his 1997 patriotic album.
These compositions showcase Rahman’s range, from peppy dance numbers to soulful ballads, making his concerts a diverse musical journey.
