New Year Qawali Night – Bolton

Featuring Zahir Abbas Qawwal & Party

Friday 1 January 2027 · Bolton Excellency · BL2 1BT

After bringing hundreds of guests together for Royal Qawali Night in Birmingham and Manchester, Rang & Rhythm Events is bringing Zahir Abbas Qawwal & Party to Bolton for a New Year’s Day celebration.

Come with family and friends, browse the shopping bazaar, and settle in for a live mehfil. Choose a Dinner & Qawali ticket for the full evening, or one of our limited Qawali Only tickets for the live performance.

Live Qawali with Zahir Abbas Qawwal & Party

There’s a moment in a live qawali when the lead voice holds a line, the party answers, and the audience picks up the rhythm. That’s when a room full of people starts to feel like one mehfil.

Zahir Abbas Qawwal & Party will lead the evening, building from soulful passages to the full energy of live qawali. Whether you grew up listening to qawali or are hearing it live for the first time, this is a chance to experience it together.

A Three-Course Royal Dinner

A full three-course dinner is included with Dinner & Qawali tickets. Take your seat in the banquet hall and share a meal with family and friends before the performance.

A limited number of Qawali Only tickets are available. These tickets give you entry from 8:30 pm for the live performance and exclude dinner.
