Music lovers in Delhi can mark your calendars because Candlelight by Live Your City is set to host its first performances at the iconic Safdarjung Tomb for a first-of-its-kind open-air concert experience.

This event signals the debut of Candlelight at one of Delhi's most magnificent Mughal monuments. With its sprawling gardens and 18th-century architecture, the venue provides an unparalleled backdrop for live performances. Thousands of glowing candles against the monument's intricate stonework create an ambience that elevates every note.


It features two back-to-back performances under the stars. The first experience opens with Candlelight Open Air: Mehfil-e-Sufi, presenting soul-stirring classical melodies rooted in India’s rich devotional tradition. This is followed by Candlelight: Best Movie Soundtracks, showcasing live renditions of Bollywood’s most iconic hits through intimate instrumental arrangements, creating a seamless musical journey from spiritual resonance to cinematic nostalgia.



This dual-feature launch makes Safdarjung Tomb a must-visit destination for Delhi's music lovers seeking an immersive cultural experience. Both concerts showcase the versatility of Indian classical music in Candlelight's signature candlelit setting, creating a seamless journey from spiritual depth to cinematic celebration.
