Ramayana, Diljit, Sunburn: Seven Indian Music Dates Before 2027
Two ticket windows, a stadium opener, a label's results, two soundtracks and a race course festival make up the Indian music dates confirmed before 2027.
Arijit Singh opens his tour in Ahmedabad on 9 January, 74 days after Tuesday's first K-pop presale. In between sit a stadium show that nearly did not happen, a quarterly result, two big film soundtracks reaching cinemas and Mumbai's biggest dance festival.
