About Farhath Hussain

Farhath Hussain entered the live events industry at a time when Bollywood was beginning to find its global audience. He played a critical part in this global movement and is, today, internationally recognised as a pioneer in Bollywood live events.

Farhath’s first show took place in his home city of London in 1986 at Wembley Arena and he followed up a year later with a show at Royal Albert Hall. Three decades on and Farhath has consistently provided his audiences with top billed shows each year – the only promoter in his field to achieve this feat. With over 500 shows under his belt, Farhath’s territories are now global; he leads the way in the UK, Europe, USA, Canada and the Middle East.

Farhath’s shows remain the only cultural events to bring the South Asian diaspora together in record numbers. In 2014, his take on the UK leg of SLAM+ The Tour at the O2 Arena, London made it the fastest-selling and highest-grossing Bollywood concert of all time, once again affirming Farhath’s status within the industry.
