‘India's live music scene is booming, shows no signs of slowing down’
Owen Roncon, Chief of Business — Live Events, at an online ticketing platform, shares, “Live entertainment and live music performances are certainly seeing a massive resurgence in India. This is not just a one-time phenomenon, but something that we are witnessing over a very vast spectrum — right from smaller capacity and intimate concert gatherings to large-scale, stadium-sized gigs and music festivals alike. Several factors have come together to foster this kind of growing response towards live music shows in India and most definitely, across Asia. India remains the second largest market when it comes to audio streaming numbers for artistes globally and is thus becoming a focus region for international artistes and performers, as they sharpen their performances and up their game to cater to large swathes of young and growing fans here.”
