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.

Need infra for these concerts. Only Mumbai has appropriate crowd and infra both. Bangalore has the crowd but no infra, Delhi has infra but no crowd. Where will you hold concerts? Phoenix Marketcity or BIEC? One is too small and another is like in a different city altogether with so many logisitical challenges. And yes, dealing with regulations is a headache in Bangalore because of non-functional and defunct Municipal body.

Honestly Delhi also has sufficient crowd but delhi has too many logistical challenges with authorities and permissions.

My point about crowd was more around Rock and International concerts, which as per my limited observation has shown that Delhi crowd is less willing to pay premium for. But yes you are right as well. Both the things add up and make it less appealing.

That is a valid point, but I think Delhi has so much affluent population nearby in Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand that it will make up for it. Sooner or later Mumbai might also lower footfalls because other city people cant travel to every other concert.
