Known for chart-toppers like Loco Contigo, Magenta Riddim and Taki Taki, the Grammy-nominated artist will perform in cities across the country starting this September. The tour will begin in Kolkata on September 26, followed by shows in Hyderabad (September 27), Bengaluru September 28), Pune ( October 3), Mumbai ( October 4), and will conclude in Delhi-NCR on October 5.

Every time I come back, that connection feels so deep. See you soon India!" The artist's upcoming album Nomad is also expected to release this September.

Welcoming the artist back, Karan Singh, CEO of Sunburn, said, 'DJ Snake's return to India for his third Sunburn Arena tour speaks to the incredible demand and the unique bond he has built with India over the years. It's been great to work with him over the years and it's truly heartening to see artists of his stature come back to perform and to larger crowds each time."* He added, 'At Sunburn, our goal has always been to champion India as a top destination for global talent by delivering world-class experiences. This tour reminds us of how far we've come in shaping the country's EDM landscape and the belief our fans place in us is what keeps us going. With lots in store, this one is set to be truly special." DJ Snake first gained recognition in 2013 with his debut single Turn Down for What, a collaboration with Lil Jon, released under Mad Decent, an imprint of Columbia Records. The song reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to receive an octuple platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. It was also nominated for Best Music Video at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards and won Top Dance/Electronic Song at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. Before rising to global fame, he worked behind the scenes producing tracks for artists such as Pitbull (Shut It Down) and Lady Gaga (Applause). His debut studio album Encore featured the top-five Billboard hit Let Me Love You, while his second album Carte Blanche included the global smash Taki Taki and peaked at number 48 on the Billboard 200. In 2014, he joined Skrillex's summer Mothership Tour alongside Dillon Francis, and in 2018, Billboard ranked him ninth on their Dance 100 list of top dance musicians.

IVE set Lollapalooza Berlin on fire with electrifying performance
Picture this - you're at one of Europe's biggest music festivals, rain is pouring down, but the crowd is absolutely electric. That's exactly what happened when South Korean girl group IVE took the stage at Lollapalooza Berlin on July 12th. The six-member group proved that language barriers mean nothing when you've got talent that speaks universally. IVE performed for a solid 55 minutes at the iconic Olympiastadion Berlin, delivering what can only be described as a masterclass in live performance. Much like how our desi artists bring that raw energy to festivals like NH7 Weekender or Sunburn, these Korean stars showed up with full band arrangements that had the German crowd losing their minds. The group kicked off their set with their latest track "REBEL HEART" on the main Telekom stage, immediately setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable night. What's impressive is how they seamlessly transitioned into "I AM," showcasing those crystal-clear high notes that would make even our classical music purists nod in approval. Vocal Powerhouses That Put Auto-Tune to Shame Let's talk about what really matters - the vocals. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo by Taboola by Taboola In an era where lip-syncing dominates live performances (we've all been there at concerts, haven't we?), IVE came through with authentic, live singing that had everyone shook. Their performance of "LOVE DIVE" brought out that signature energetic charm, while "You Wanna Cry" showcased the kind of delicate vocal work that gives you goosebumps. But here's where it gets really interesting - member Liz absolutely nailed the ultra-high notes during their "ATTITUDE" performance, proving that these aren't just pretty faces with catchy songs. It's the kind of vocal stability that reminds you of our own powerhouse singers like Shreya Ghoshal or Sunidhi Chauhan , who can hit those impossible notes while dancing. The fact that they performed with a full live band setup throughout the entire 55-minute set is no joke. That's the kind of commitment to authentic performance that separates the real artists from the manufactured ones. Rain, Fans, and Pure Festival Magic What makes this performance even more special is the context. Despite heavy rain throughout the event, both the group and their fans (called "DIVE") stuck it out together. There's something beautifully universal about music bringing people together regardless of weather - it's the same spirit you see at monsoon concerts in Mumbai or outdoor gigs in Delhi where nothing stops the show. IVE's gratitude was evident in their post-performance statement through Starship Entertainment, where they thanked not just the live audience but also global fans who watched via live stream. They specifically mentioned their appreciation for the staff and band members who made the performance possible, showing the kind of humility that resonates across cultures. The group is already gearing up for their next stop - Lollapalooza Paris next week. It's part of a growing trend of K-pop acts taking their talents to international festival circuits, much like how our indie artists are now performing at SXSW or Coachella. Cultural Bridge Through Music What's fascinating about IVE's European festival run is how it mirrors the global music scene we're seeing today. Just as Indian artists like Nucleya or Divine are making waves internationally, Korean acts are proving that great music transcends geographical boundaries. The emotional connection between performer and audience - that raw energy exchange - remains the same whether you're in Seoul, Berlin, or Mumbai. The rain-soaked performance at Lollapalooza Berlin wasn't just a concert; it was a testament to how music creates instant communities. Those German fans singing along to Korean lyrics, the universal language of rhythm and melody bringing everyone together - it's the same magic that happens when international artists perform in our country and suddenly everyone's united by the beat.
