Mumbai Joins the Groove
Meanwhile, the live music buzz continues in Mumbai with acts like Diljit Dosanjh and Karan Aujla drawing massive crowds. Plus, international stars like Dua Lipa, Maroon 5, and Coldplay are set to ignite the city’s live music scene.
Why is live music so big in India right now?
It’s no secret—Gen Z’s love for unique, premium experiences is fueling this resurgence. Post-pandemic, live music is thriving, inspired by global trends like Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour (grossing a whopping $2 billion!). In India, sold-out shows by artists like Diljit Dosanjh and soaring ticket demand for Coldplay are proof that concerts are here to stay.
However, challenges like inadequate infrastructure at large venues persist. But thanks to platforms like Instagram and YouTube, artists are connecting with fans like never before. Corporate giants are joining the action too—Zomato’s acquisition of Paytm Insider and Swiggy’s plans for live entertainment are heating up the competition with leaders like BookMyShow.
