Destination concerts
“Mumbai isn’t an easy city to host gigs in,” says Arjun Ravi, co-founder NH7. “You have to take hazaar licences and still cops will stop you for any random reason.” This has been the case for decades now, driving artistes to perform anywhere but Mumbai. While venues such as Blue Frog and Hard Rock Café have helped the course, the city still lacks an open-air arena. The next year will see destination gigs gaining more popularity, feels Ravi.
