Akon to Travis Scott: Delhi gets ready for global concerts

Entertainment Oct 18, 2025

Delhi's government just signed a deal with BookMyShow Live to host over 30 major events, featuring stars like Akon and Travis Scott.
This move is part of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's push to make Delhi the creative hotspot of India and hopes to generate ₹3,000 crore in revenue over the next few years.

What else is in store?

Expect more global artists, easier ticketing, and bigger shows—thanks to smoother event approvals and cheaper venues.
The city is also boosting safety for these mega-events (Travis Scott's tour alone gets over 3,400 security staff).
Officials say this could mean more tourism, jobs, and cool experiences for locals—just like Ahmedabad saw huge gains after Coldplay played there.
