It’s 2025, and if we’ve noticed anything, it’s that India has stopped being merely a checkbox on global music tour maps (or being skipped fully) – we’re now the headline. Coldplay hosted record-breaking shows in Mumbai and Ahmedabad early this year, and the seismic impact of that show has seen a frenzy of concerts and tour dates being announced constantly in India – Ed Sheeran, Green Day, Shawn Mendes, and Maroon 5.
And the next wave coming this autumn and winter carries equal promise and energy.
Travis Scott – Circus Maximus World Tour
The moment Travis Scott announced his first-ever India shows, Delhi exploded. Tickets vanished in minutes—then boom, a second night in the capital and Mumbai added. His Circus Maximus Tour is less concert and more spectacle—pyrotechnics, surprises, visuals and five‑hour sonic narrative of hits (“Sicko Mode,” “Goosebumps,” “90210”). This debut tour underscores how hip‑hop’s cinematic scale is now a fixture on Indian grounds.
When & Where: October 18–19 at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium; November 19 at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Race Course
Enrique Iglesias – Live in Mumbai
Enrique IglesiasBillboard
After 13 years, Enrique returns to India for one night only—which, spoiler alert, became two. The original October 30 show drew such intense demand that a second date was greenlit within weeks. With Final (Vol. 2), his twelfth and last album, marking the end of an era, this concert is a full-circle moment. Produced by EVA Live and BEW Live alongside Mastercard’s presale tie-in, tickets opened June 27 and the venue is expected to host over 30,000 fans. The Spanish singer-songwriter has smashed all records with chart-busters like Bailamos, Hero, Rhythm Divine, and many more.
When & Where: October 29 & 30, MMRDA Grounds, Mumbai

Rolling Loud India – Mumbai
Rolling Loud, perhaps the biggest hip‑hop festival in the world, is finally confirmed to land in India. Though exact dates and line‑up are still under wraps, its arrival in Mumbai is official . Given previous global rosters—Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Swae Lee—it’s poised to be India’s boldest hip‑hop festival debut. For a scene rising fast into global relevance, Rolling Loud stands to be the catalytic moment.
