Tickets for the IIFA Digital Awards 2027 are now on sale, with the celebration of Indian streaming entertainment scheduled for Friday, 22 January at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
In a release issued on 28 October, IIFA announced that Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Abhishek Banerjee will host the ceremony, while singer and composer Himesh Reshammiya will headline a live performance.
Three hosts and a headline performance
The digital ceremony will recognise work across streaming films and series, including performances, direction and storytelling, as well as reality and non-scripted programmes, documentaries and music, according to the organisers.
Reshammiya said his IIFA association dates back to 2006, when he performed and received recognition for Aashiq Banaya Aapne. He said his Abu Dhabi performance would bring together familiar hits and newer material, including Afsana Banaya Aapne.
