During the performance, Kuma Sagar mentioned that he was suffering from the heat during his 2-day stay in Dubai and said that he wanted to honor the Nepalis who have been sweating for many years for their livelihood. He also spoke emotionally, saying that it is the Nepali's obligation to sweat for passion and happiness. Similarly, he repeatedly reiterated that he is committed to the rebirth of Newa culture through music. 
During the performance, Kuma was supported by the band's artists Sharad Deula, Roshan Bajracharya, Suman Gaida, Prabin Lakhu, Roshik Jadhari, Aman Mali, BK Prajapati, Roz Maharjan, and Ramsundar Dhusu. 
Before Kuma, dancer Mamta Rana Magar and folk duo singer Mohan Khadka gave their performances. Similarly, the Kandara Band, which is active in Dubai, also provided great entertainment.
