Unreleased Coke Studio Bharat debut ‘Ae Ajnabee’ with Ravator and a sneak-peek of indie track ‘Lajawab’ make the night a milestone for India’s new-age pop movement. Singer-songwriter Aditya Rikhari reached a career milestone as he headlined his first standalone concert at Dome Stadium, Mumbai, drawing a packed crowd for an evening of new music and shared energy. The performance marked Rikhari’s transition from celebrated streaming artist to commanding presence on one of the city’s prominent live stages.
The night’s standout moment came when Rikhari was joined by producer and close friend Ravator to debut their unreleased Coke Studio Bharat Season 4 track Ae Ajnabee, offering fans an exclusive first listen. As the song’s sargam section unfolded, the entire stadium broke into synchronized claps, creating a stirring, communal moment that transformed the performance into a shared celebration. Rikhari also previewed a live snippet of his independent, unreleased song Lajawab, hinting at what’s next in his evolving artistic journey.
Reflecting on the significance of the occasion, Rikhari said, “Every major moment in my career has felt new, from my first tour to my first big streaming milestone, but tonight was different. This was the first time doing a standalone show, looking out at thousands of faces who’ve lived with my songs in their playlists and in their hearts. That’s something you can’t describe until you feel it. It made every long day in the studio, every doubt, and every quiet moment of writing worth it.”
Known for his heartfelt songwriting and lyrical honesty, Rikhari has steadily built a devoted audience with songs that blend emotional resonance and contemporary melodies. The Dome Stadium concert underscored the growing influence of independent artists in India’s live music scene and positioned Rikhari as a defining voice of his generation.
