‘Faqueera’ added another dimension to the performance
Rashmeet Kaur left her mark on Birmingham with a memorable performance at Mama Roux in Digbeth on Sunday, September 27, 2026.
The packed venue enjoyed a vibrant setlist, with the singer keeping audiences engaged all night.
From ‘Parinda’ to ‘Dhol Jagero Da’, Rashmeet showcased her versatility, blending different sides of Punjabi music with a fresh and distinctive sound.
With energetic dance moves and powerful vocals, she commanded the stage as the audience joined in with many of her songs.
Birmingham was the final stop of her UK tour after Edinburgh, Manchester and London, with DESIblitz witnessing an entertaining night of contemporary Punjabi music and much-loved classics.
Old Songs in a New Era
Rashmeet Kaur’s set moved between her own music and popular Punjabi songs, creating a performance that felt both contemporary and rooted in tradition.
‘Tere Bin Nahi Lagda’ was among the songs that gave the audience a chance to settle into the more melodic side of the set, before Rashmeet shifted the energy with tracks that encouraged greater audience participation.
‘Faqueera’ added another dimension to the performance, allowing her vocals to take centre stage while maintaining the atmosphere that had built throughout the evening.
Her ability to move between different musical styles was one of the defining features of the show.
Rather than sticking to one sound, Rashmeet blended contemporary Punjabi music, folk influences, and energetic bhangra moments.
This gave the set a varied pace, with quieter musical moments balanced by sections that had the crowd singing and dancing along.
Rashmeet’s Mother Takes the Stage
One of the evening’s most personal moments came when Rashmeet invited her mother onto the stage.
The appearance was particularly special as the evening also marked her mother’s birthday. Rashmeet and the audience joined together to sing ‘Happy Birthday’, creating a warm moment between the singer and the Birmingham crowd.
The pair then performed two traditional Punjabi songs together, giving the audience a rare opportunity to see mother and daughter share the stage.
One of the highlights was ‘Mawan Te Dhiyan’, a classic Punjabi folk song famously associated with legendary singers Surinder Kaur and Parkash Kaur.
Hearing the song performed live by Rashmeet and her mother brought a traditional element to an otherwise contemporary show.
An Invigorated Bhangra Finale
The energy reached another level when Rashmeet turned towards some of the more upbeat Punjabi and bhangra songs in her set.
‘Jugni Ji’ and ‘Dhol Jagero Da’ brought a lively response from the crowd, with audiences dancing and singing along as Rashmeet Kaur moved around the stage.
Her performance style was particularly physical, with choreography and dance moves becoming an important part of the show rather than simply an addition to the music.
At one point, Rashmeet brought her saxophone and flute player onto the stage and encouraged him to show off his own bhangra moves.
Joking that he was still ‘in training’, she joined him on stage, turning the moment into one of the more playful interactions of the night.
It was also a reminder that the performance was not simply about Rashmeet standing at the microphone. The musicians, dancers and audience all became part of the atmosphere she created.
By the final songs, Mama Roux had become a lively celebration of Punjabi music, with the crowd responding to Rashmeet’s energy throughout.
As the final night of her UK tour, Birmingham provided a fitting conclusion to the run of shows.
From traditional folk songs shared with her mother to energetic bhangra performances, Rashmeet Kaur delivered a set that brought different generations and styles of Punjabi music together.
For those in attendance, it was an evening that combined music, culture, family, and plenty of dancing, giving Rashmeet’s UK tour a memorable ending in Birmingham.
