Internationally acclaimed vocalist Siyer makes his Auckland return this May, bringing his signature sound and electric stage presence to The Siyer Experience.
On May 10, 2025, the powerhouse performer will take the stage at the Dorothy Winstone Auditorium for a night of soulful nostalgia, stirring tributes, and original artistry
Titled "The Siyer Experience", the live concert is not just a performance—it’s an immersive journey through the eras and emotions that have shaped Siyer’s remarkable musical career. And if his resume is anything to go by, the city’s in for something truly unforgettable.
Grammy Buzz, Global Stages
Siyer isn’t your everyday singer. With over 600 live performances to his name—many alongside Indian music icons like Shankar Mahadevan, Udit Narayan, and Sadhna Sargam—he’s made waves across continents and cultures. He’s also been under Grammy® consideration for three consecutive years (2022, 2023, and 2024), making him the only Indo-Australian Grammy voting member with that distinction.
His YouTube channel has racked up more than three million views, and his performances at marquee venues like the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Sydney Cricket Ground have only cemented his reputation. Siyer even had the honour of singing the Indian national anthem at major national events—no small feat for any artist.
A Star-Studded Line-Up
Joining Siyer on stage is Arpita Chanda, whose honeyed voice and heartfelt ghazals, geets, and Bollywood classics have made her a fan favourite in New Zealand since 2003. A seasoned performer who began her journey with All India Radio in Delhi, Arpita brings a timeless touch to the night’s proceedings.
Also performing is Auckland’s own Sunil Das, known for his rich vocals and natural command of the stage. Backing them is a live band of local legends—Hemant Thakker, Araad, Mihir, Navneel Prasad, Don Dilantha, and Everard Fernandes—ready to dial up the magic.
Five Musical Acts, One Experience
What sets The Siyer Experience apart is its unique structure. The concert unfolds in five thoughtfully curated acts:
-
Udit Narayan Tribute – Relive the golden age of Bollywood with iconic hits.
-
Indipop Era Throwback – A nod to the unforgettable indie sounds of the 90s and early 2000s.
-
Siyer Originals – A peek into the artist’s own musical world—fresh, emotional, and distinct.
-
A.R. Rahman Tribute – An ode to the maestro whose tunes defined an era.
-
Remembering Rafi – A heartfelt homage to the timeless Mohammed Rafi.
Not Just a Concert—An Experience
From sweeping tributes to personal originals, this is a concert built on connection. “The local band, the carefully chosen sets, the stories behind the songs—it’s all coming together to create something that feels intimate and grand at once,” say organisers.
With limited seats and a growing buzz in the community, The Siyer Experience is shaping up to be one of the season’s must-attend events. Whether you're a diehard Bollywood fan, a connoisseur of live music, or just someone in need of a feel-good night out, this is a gig that promises to hit all the right notes.
