Even as India is dealing with their feelings about the recently concluded Coldplay’s India tour that showcased the concert culture in the country, Ed Sheeran has already performed in Pune and will be performing in Hyderabad on Sunday. Later this month, even world-renowned DJ Tiesto will be coming to India. All of this is after Cigarettes After Sex, Karan Aujla, AP Dhillon and even Bryan Adams and Dua Lipa have performed in the country in the last three months.

While this can be attributed to the music concert season that usually hovers between September to February, the music concert culture in India is not limited to particular months anymore, and is an all-year round calendar that only seems to be bursting at the seams and is only going to grow and test the limits of India’s infrastructure not only logistically but also online, and it is important to be prepared. It is no surprise then, that India’s music festival organisers and promoters want more from the government this year, and if PM Narendra Modi’s recent push for a ‘concert economy’ is anything to go by, this budget should definitely have something for ‘music tourism’ in India.
