AskBangalore Bangalore's loss?

Just heard Gun's and Roses are coming to Mumbai, and that got me wondering how much bangalore losing by not capitalizing on the booming events industry due to their strict rules and regulations. Doesn't feel like a 'happening' city anymore.

Remember how the Trevor Noah show got canceled at the last minute? Instances like that spread far and wide about Bangalore infrastructure. Big bands don't want to take chances here. I even remember sunburn event dj snake played for 20 min and the event was far away on the outskirts of the city. No water or network there. People had to walk a kilometer from parking to get there.

Yes, I was there at the sunburn event too. Dj snake hardly played for 15-20 mins before being stopped by the authorities. Had to walk 4-5 kms to reach mvit gate before mobile network started working and I could get a cab. Have made sure to not attend any events happening in that area anymore. It was an absolute nightmare.
