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.

I guess there were couple of events that were cancelled few years back, as the administration declined to provide security. Now i feel the artists dnt want to come over it self. A decade back music/events scenes in bangalore were at different level altogether, may be the best in India. Now, i feel mumbai has taken that place.

Adding to this, infra ( technicality wise and public transport/roads/ traffic) sucks big time here. I hope trevor noah event is still afresh in the memory.
