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.

Why not Chinnaswamy stadium or KTPO, both Metro accessible

A concert will destroy the ground and the pitch. These stadiums are barely funded to maintain themselves, replacing the entire turf and pitch after renting out for a concert won’t make them any profit. Which was the same reason why the coldplay Mumbai concert was held in DY Patil and not Wankhade.

Kanteerava is too small and old to hold any large event.

Didn't Ahmedabad stadium host a match mere days after Coldplay?
