India's Concert Boom Could Create 12 Million Jobs by 2032, But Are We Ready?
India's live concert scene isn't just about big stages, big sound, and even bigger crowds anymore. It's now powering something far more significant: jobs. And lots of them. A report by NLB Services, a global digital talent solutions provider, states that India's fast-growing concert economy could generate nearly 12 million temporary jobs by 2032, transforming not only entertainment, but also employment and economic growth, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. With over 100 large-scale concerts expected every year from stadium-sized gigs to regional festivals there's a quiet revolution underway. One that's changing how young India works, moves, and makes money. The Real Action? Not Just in Metros Yes, cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru still get the headliners. But it's places such as Jaipur, Kochi, Shillong, Indore, and Lucknow that are stepping into the spotlight. The reasons? A young population, rising aspirations, better connectivity, and brands eager to engage smaller markets. It's no longer just about bringing big artists to big venues, it's about building experiences where the demand is. Every Concert = Thousands Of Jobs Each major concert can open up 15,000 to 20,000 temporary gigs. That includes roles in logistics, stage production, crowd management, hospitality, food and beverages, artist handling, content creation, and digital marketing. There's work for everyone from freelancers and emcees to sound engineers, drone operators, social media managers, and production leads. Many of these are short-term contracts, but a growing number are turning into full-time careers, especially in sound tech, digital strategy, and event production. Big Shows = Big Money When Coldplay played Ahmedabad in 2024, the ripple effect was massive. The concert added Rs 641 crore to the local economy, including Rs 72 crore in GST. Hotels were booked out. Flights saw a 300% jump. Even street food vendors saw record sales. Punjabi singing sensation Diljit Dosanjh's Dil-Luminati India Tour 2024 achieved massive success with his two-month nationwide trek. The Dil-Luminati Tour significantly boosted local economies, generating USD 112 million across 13 cities. Like Coldplay's global shows, his concerts sparked a rise in tourism, retail, and hospitality, drawing over 107,000 out-of-town visitors. Diljit Dosanjh's tour created around 5,300 jobs and brought in USD 13 million in tax revenue, making it a clear example of how large-scale music events can drive real economic impact. Every major concert weekend now drives a festive-season-level economic surge boosting tourism, transportation, retail, and local businesses. There's A Flip Side The talent crunch is deepening. From lighting design and live production to sound engineering and rigging, India simply doesn't have enough trained professionals. The same goes for digital event experts, content creators, social media strategists, and ticketing tech leads. The report by NLB Services flags the urgent need to invest in skilling, especially beyond the big cities. As the industry formalises, the demand for certified, event-savvy professionals will only rise. Backed by a Bigger Vision Prime Minister Narendra Modi had spoken about the potential of the concert economy at Odisha Conclave 2025, around Coldplay's India tour. "Today, the concert economy sector is also growing in India. A country which has such a huge legacy of music, dance, and storytelling, India is a huge consumer of concerts. There are many possibilities for the concert economy. The trend of live events and concerts has increased in the last 10 years," the prime minister had said. Now, with estimates pointing to Rs 15,000 crore in economic value over the next few years, state governments are finally catching up. Many are rolling out policies to attract events, improve infrastructure, and support local talent. More International Talent Coming To India This shift is clearly reflected in the kind of global talent now prioritizing India as a key tour stop. Besides Coldplay, there have been names such as Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, Bryan Adams, and most recently Guns N' Roses who regaled fans in India. French hitmaker and Grammy-nominated DJ Snake, known for selling out stadiums worldwide, is set to return to India for a massive six-city Sunburn Arena Tour in 2025. Kicking off in Kolkata on September 26 and ending in Delhi-NCR on October 5, the tour marks his third time performing in India, and it's only getting bigger. October will see Spanish singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias return to India after 13 years for a live show. What's Next India's concert economy is no longer a fringe act. It's moving to the mainstage. But to keep the momentum going, we need the talent to match the tempo. For this isn't just about watching a show. It's about creating millions of livelihoods and placing India at the heart of the global live entertainment map.

Himachal Pradesh HC grants bail to man accused of sharing derogatory videos about PM Modi, Army
The Himachal Pradesh High Court on Tuesday granted bail to a man who was arrested in May for sharing videos on Facebook that made allegedly derogatory remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Army. The court said that while the videos may have been in bad taste, they would not 'incite any person to violence or create disturbance in public peace'. Justice Rakesh Kainthla said that on a preliminary reading, it was 'highly doubtful' whether Sections 152 and 196 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deal with sedition and promoting enmity between groups, were applicable in this case. The man, Farooq Ahmad, was arrested on May 9 on charges of sedition, promoting enmity between groups and making assertions against national integrity, Live Law reported. The prosecution alleged that Ahmad shared content online that was deemed to be anti-national and against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which had hurt the sentiments of common people. The police also alleged that one video featured a Pakistani citizen making insulting comments about Modi, while another clip from a Pakistani news channel contained derogatory remarks about the Indian Army. However, the court said that the investigation had not shown any evidence that Ahmad's posts incited violence or disturbed public peace. The court also took into account that Ahmad's mobile phone had already been seized and sent for forensic examination, and that the prosecution was yet to obtain the required sanction for the trial to proceed.

Salman Khan On Why He Has Bullet-Proof Balcony: "Would Find Fans Sleeping There"
New Delhi: Salman Khan, who had his security measures upgraded after shots were fired at his Bandra home last year, revealed why he had installed bulletproof glass to safeguard his balcony. Salman Khan also shared some hilarious anecdotes that impacted his decision. What's Happening Speaking to an entertainment portal, Salman Khan said fans would climb up and stay there to meet him. "I would find them sleeping there," Salman said. Salman's Bandra home was covered by bullet-proof glass in January after he continued to get death threats, specially from jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Background In April 2024, gunshots were fired outside Salman Khan's Mumbai's Bandra area. Later, Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the shooting incident via a Facebook post. The Mumbai Traffic Police also received a message from the gang, demanding Rs 5 crore for Salman's "forgiveness." The message threatened that if the demand wasn't met, he would suffer a fate "worse than Baba Siddique," who was shot dead in Mumbai on October 12, 2024. In October 2024, the actor also acquired a bulletproof Nissan Patrol SUV worth approximately Rs 2 crore, imported directly from Dubai to Mumbai. Besides this, safety measures were also implemented outside the Bigg Boss 18 sets in Mumbai's film city. Khan's security team was also, reportedly, reinforced with an additional eight to ten armed officers, and a special command center was established at his residence by the Mumbai Police. Just a few months ago, Salman received a fresh death threat on his phone via a WhatsApp message. The man stated that he would kill the actor by planting a bomb in his car. The police later traced the perpetrator to his home in Gujarat. In A Nutshell Salman Khan, who stepped up his security amid relentless death threats, said fans would climb up his balcony and sleep there while waiting to meet him.
