India’s live music scene is thriving, with Coldplay's massive concerts in Mumbai and Ahmedabad making waves. Their Ahmedabad show at Narendra Modi Stadium marked their biggest-ever concert in India, showcasing world-class execution.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India’s growing potential to host global live events, celebrating the success of Coldplay’s India tour as a milestone for the country’s concert infrastructure.
Coldplay’s success revived discussions around Diljit Dosanjh’s previous comments about India’s lack of concert infrastructure. After logistical issues during his Chandigarh tour stop, Diljit had stated he wouldn’t perform in India until improvements were made.
Fans took to social media to compare Coldplay’s flawless execution to Diljit’s remarks. One user tagged Diljit, saying, “India does have infrastructure for live concerts” and suggested hiring a better team.
Social media users pointed out Coldplay’s ability to manage complex performances for massive crowds, with one noting, “Coldplay has done four shows larger and more complex than Diljit’s.”
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav called the Coldplay event a "global benchmark" for live events in India. He didn’t address Diljit’s comments directly but highlighted the country’s capability to host world-class shows.
