Indian music sensation Anirudh Ravichander will celebrate 15 years in the music industry with a high-energy concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Sept 26 (Saturday), bringing his international XV Tour to a close in Singapore.

ANIRUDH XV TOUR: Live in Singapore will feature songs spanning the Tamil composer and singer’s career, including recent hits and fan favourites such as Powerhouse, Thalapathy Katcheri!, Pathikichu, Kanave Kanave, Hoyna, and Arabic Kuthu.

The Singapore finale follows concerts in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Dallas, New Jersey and Toronto as part of a tour across Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada.

Behind that international journey is a Singapore success story of its own.

The entire 2026 XV Tour has been organised and produced by homegrown Maestro Productions Global, which was founded in Singapore in 2018 by Mr Parthiban Murugaiyan as a passion project.

In less than a decade, Maestro has expanded into seven countries – Singapore, the US, Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka, the UK and New Zealand – while building a reputation for staging large-scale Indian music concerts internationally.

It has worked with some of Indian music’s biggest names, including Ilaiyaraaja, A.R. Rahman, S.P. Balasubrahmanyam, K.S. Chithra, K.J. Yesudas, Yuvan Shankar Raja, and Harris Jayaraj.

Its continuing association with Anirudh has been particularly successful.

When Maestro presented Anirudh at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in March 2023, the concert attracted around 12,000 people. The production featured a 360-degree stage concept designed to bring the performer closer to audiences.

The company has since produced Anirudh concerts across several international markets, with the Sept 26 show bringing that partnership back to Maestro’s home base.

For Anirudh, 2026 marks 15 years of a career that has made him one of contemporary Indian cinema’s most recognisable composers and live performers.

His distinctive combination of electronic sounds, melody and high-energy film music has also helped him build a substantial following outside India, particularly among younger audiences.

The Singapore show is being planned as more than a retrospective, with a refreshed set list, recent releases, elaborate production and the audience interaction that has become a hallmark of his concerts.

For Maestro, meanwhile, the finale reflects how far a Singapore-founded concert organiser has travelled while taking Indian music to audiences across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific.

Doors at the Singapore Indoor Stadium open at 5.30pm, with the concert beginning at 7.30pm. Limited tickets remain available through SISTIC.
