Pitbull Returns to India for Fourth Time; To Perform in Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad This December

Tanisha Cardozo

Global music sensation Pitbull is set to make a grand return to India this December with his I’m Back tour — marking his fourth visit to the country. The Grammy Award-winning artist will perform at the HUDA Grounds in Gurugram on December 6 and at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad on December 8, 2025, promising fans two unforgettable nights of high-octane music and energy.

“It’s truly an honor to perform back in India, we look forward to bringing the party back,” said Armando Christian Pérez, famously known as Pitbull. “Touring the globe continues to show fans around the world that music is the universal language that unites genres. Daleee!” he added.

Pitbull, fondly known as Mr. Worldwide, has had a long-standing relationship with Indian audiences. His first performance in India took place in 2011, followed by his appearance at the 2017 IPL opening ceremony at Eden Gardens, where he shared the stage with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. He returned in 2019 for another live concert in Mumbai and even performed at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding celebrations in 2024, alongside singer Guru Randhawa.

Indian fans also remember his hit collaboration with Priyanka Chopra on the 2013 single Exotic, which seamlessly fused Bollywood beats with Pitbull’s signature Miami rhythm — cementing his status as one of the few global artists to achieve mainstream success with an Indian collaboration.

Reflecting on his past experiences, Pitbull once said, “The kind of love and affection I received was overwhelming. The people of India are really warm. I enjoyed performing in front of such a huge and welcoming audience.”

The I’m Back India tour is being produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, which has promised a spectacular live experience featuring Pitbull’s biggest hits — including Give Me Everything, Timber, Rain Over Me, and Fireball.

Tickets for both shows go live at 12 PM (noon) on October 25, giving fans the chance to secure their spot for one of the most anticipated international concerts of the year.

With his signature charisma, infectious energy, and global hits, Pitbull’s return promises to be a celebration of music, unity, and pure entertainment — a night that Indian fans won’t soon forget.

Miley Cyrus Announces New Song ‘Dream As One’ for Avatar: Fire and Ash, Inspired by LA Fires

Tanisha Cardozo

Miley Cyrus has announced a brand-new original song titled Dream As One, created especially for James Cameron’s upcoming sci-fi epic Avatar: Fire and Ash. The song will play over the film’s end credits and will be released as a single on November 14, ahead of the movie’s theatrical release in December.

Cyrus revealed the song through a short social media teaser, sharing that it was inspired by the devastating wildfires that swept across Los Angeles earlier this year. “Honored to support Avatar: Fire and Ash with an original song I’ve written with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt,” she wrote in her announcement. “Having been personally affected by fire and being rebuilt from the ashes, this project holds profound meaning for me. Thank you, Jim, for the opportunity to turn that experience into musical medicine.”

Dream As One marks a collaboration between Cyrus, award-winning producers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, and composer Simon Franglen, who is also scoring the film. According to Cyrus, the song’s message of unity, love, and healing deeply connects with the emotional themes of Avatar: Fire and Ash. “To be even a small star in the universe the Avatar family has created is truly a dream come true,” she added.

The release continues Cyrus’s streak of cinematic music moments — following her contribution to The Last Showgirl soundtrack last year with the song Beautiful That Way. Earlier this year, she also released her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, accompanied by a visual film project.

The upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash will see the return of Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña as Jake and Neytiri, as they face loss and encounter a new Na’vi tribe led by Varang, played by Oona Chaplin. The tribe’s uneasy alliance with antagonist Quaritch, portrayed by Stephen Lang, promises new conflict and emotional depth. James Cameron has confirmed that this third installment will be the longest in the franchise so far.

While Dream As One debuts on November 14, the full Avatar: Fire and Ash soundtrack — composed by Simon Franglen — will release on December 12. The film hits UK cinemas on December 19, continuing the cinematic journey through Pandora’s breathtaking world, now with Miley Cyrus’s voice echoing through its closing moments.

BLACKPINK’s JISOO Teases Duet with Zayn Malik: “Two Voices, One Orbit”

Tanisha Cardozo

In what’s shaping up to be one of the most talked-about music collaborations of the year, BLACKPINK’s JISOO has officially teased a surprise duet with former One Direction member Zayn Malik. The pair are joining forces on a track titled “EyesClosed,” as hinted in a series of moody teaser images and cryptic captions shared across JISOO’s social media on October 6.

The first teaser showed JISOO in the foreground, with a shadowed male silhouette standing behind her. The word “EYESCLOSED” was emblazoned across the frame, paired with the caption: “A duet is near.” A follow-up post brought the male figure slightly more into focus with the caption: “Two voices, one orbit. Coming soon.” Speculation quickly turned to confirmation as fans identified the figure as none other than Zayn Malik.

Zayn was previously spotted at BLACKPINK’s New York concert on July 27, 2025, accompanied by his daughter, Khai. After the concert, he shared a fan photo on social media with the caption, “@BLACKPINKOFFICIAL THANK YOU 🙂 ME & KHAI LOVED IT,” sparking curiosity and buzz about a potential connection between him and the group. That speculation has now turned into excitement with the announcement of the collaboration.

This marks JISOO’s first new music release since her solo EP Amortage, which dropped in February 2025 and featured songs like “Earthquake,” “Your Love,” and “Hugs & Kisses.” The duet with Zayn is expected to blend their distinct vocal styles, bringing together JISOO’s K-pop finesse and Zayn’s soulful, R&B-influenced pop sound.

Currently, JISOO is on BLACKPINK’s “Deadline” world tour, which kicked off in Seoul in July and will resume in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on October 18, after a short break following their London shows. Zayn, meanwhile, has been relatively low-key musically, making this teaser all the more intriguing for fans of both artists.

With the global reach of BLACKPINK and the enduring popularity of Zayn Malik, “EyesClosed” could become a defining cross-cultural pop moment. No official release date has been confirmed yet, but all signs point to an October drop. Until then, fans are left counting the days until the orbit of these two voices becomes one.
