The “vibe” is officially making its way to the city of dreams. Flipperachi, the Bahraini rap sensation who became a household name in India following the chart-topping success of his track in the blockbuster film Dhurandhar, has officially announced his debut Mumbai concert.
Mark your calendars for March 13, 2026, as the breakout phenomenon prepares to set the stage on fire at Dublin Square, Phoenix Marketcity. This landmark event, produced and promoted by industry giants Eva Live and Zee Live, and powered by Mastercard, marks the first time the international rapper will perform a full-scale live set for his massive Indian fanbase.
While Flipperachi (born Hussam Aseem) has dominated the Middle Eastern hip-hop scene for years, his popularity in the subcontinent skyrocketed in late 2025. His high-octane track “FA9LA” (which translates to “vibe” or “party”) served as the bone-chilling entry theme for Akshaye Khanna’s character, Rehman Dakait, in the film Dhurandhar.
The fusion of gritty Arabic rap with Indian percussion elements didn’t just enhance the cinematic experience; it triggered a digital revolution. With over 10 million social media clips and reels using the track, Flipperachi became the “new sound” of the Indian underground. Now, fans no longer have to experience the energy through a screen.
The choice of Phoenix Marketcity’s Dublin Square as the venue emphasizes the scale of this debut. Known for hosting world-class musical acts, the open-air plaza provides the perfect backdrop for Flipperachi’s immersive live experience.
Organizers promise a high-production spectacle that matches the “larger-than-life” energy of his music. Fans can expect a setlist packed with hits like “FA9LA,” “Ee Laa,” and “Nayda,” accompanied by high-octane visuals and a synchronized light show that reflects the urban, borderless spirit of global hip-hop.
Bringing an international artist of Flipperachi’s caliber requires a robust production team. Eva Live and Zee Live (under their premium Supermoon banner) are collaborating to ensure this debut is unforgettable.
Deepak Choudhary, Founder of Eva Live, described Flipperachi as “not just an artist but a movement,” while Gareth Eswin Thomas, Business Head at Zee Live, noted that the concert reflects the shift toward a truly global, borderless hip-hop culture. Mastercard serves as the official power partner, offering exclusive perks for their cardholders during the ticketing phases.
Given the viral nature of his fame, tickets are expected to vanish in record time. The sales will roll out in a phased manner exclusively on District by Zomato:
- HDFC Bank Mastercard Pre-sale: Begins February 14, 2026, at 12:00 PM.
- Mastercard General Pre-sale: Starts February 16, 2026, at 12:30 PM.

Flipperachi’s journey from Manama, Bahrain, to the top of the Indian charts is a testament to the power of authenticity. Rapping primarily in Arabic, he has broken language barriers by focusing on raw lyricism and infectious beats. In 2024, he was named Bahraini Artist of the Year and even secured a Guinness World Record for topping four Billboard Arabia charts simultaneously.
Expressing his excitement about the Mumbai show, Flipperachi stated:
“India has shown me incredible love, and Mumbai is a city I’ve always wanted to perform in. The energy, the people, the culture—it all feels very familiar. This show is going to be loud, emotional, and unforgettable. Mumbai, get ready!”
As hip-hop continues to dominate the Indian live music circuit, Flipperachi’s debut stands out as a unique cultural crossover. Whether you are a die-hard fan of Middle Eastern rap or just someone who can’t get the Dhurandhar background score out of your head, this is the must-attend gig of the season.
