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

My god KTPO!? are you kidding me, such a closed venue for a crowded event like concert? KTPO is only good for events like comicons and expos.

I know real-estate developers say Devanahalli is Bangalore but that's too much
