Here’s a scene… you’re in the front row at a concert. The crowd erupts, lights blaze and there he is, Sidhu Moosewala, belting out his greatest hits with signature swagger. But something is different. He is glowing, not sweating. He is there, but not quite. You are watching a hologram. Welcome to the era of lights, camera, holography.
Moosewala’s family recently set the Internet abuzz with the announcement of a 2026 world tour that will feature the late superstar performing in holographic form, bringing his presence, voice and energy back to the stage in a way never seen before. While the venues are global and fans are hyped, let’s talk about the real “wow” factor: the technology.
A life-size Moosewala hologram will own the stage as his original voice booms through the speakers, surrounded by dazzling 3D visuals. It won’t just be a concert, it’ll be a futuristic performance. And Moosewala won’t be the first. Icons like Tupac, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson have all been digitally resurrected to perform for fans long after their passing. But concerts are just the beginning.
What makes holograms tick
Holograms are 3D images made using light and lasers. Unlike flat screens, they float in space and shift with your perspective, just like real objects. Advanced projection and motion-capture tech bring these visuals to life, making holograms feel eerily lifelike. Today, they are being used far beyond music, across healthcare, hospitality, fashion, education and more.
