Last year, over 2 lakh people attended Coldplay’s Ahmedabad show.

This year, even more global stars are coming to India. There’s Shakira, Kanye West and Calvin Harris.

Estimates peg the live events organised market as between Rs 12,000 and Rs 20,000 crore.

In short, India’s concert economy is booming.

But, we don’t have the infrastructure to support shows of this scale.

Fewer than ten venues across the country can host more than 10,000 people.

Fans often complain of issues with traffic control, crowd management, toilets and parking.

In the latest episode of The Signal Brief, we hear from consumers and industry professionals on what’s behind this growing concert economy—and where it’s falling short.
