Oscar and Grammy Winner Jon Batiste to Perform in India for the First Time in 2025


Written by Intern Queeny George M.H , Team Allycaral

Globally acclaimed artist Jon Batiste is officially heading to India this year for two unforgettable live performances in Delhi-NCR on November 24 and Mumbai on November 26, marking his much-anticipated India debut. The multi-talented musician — a seven-time Grammy winner, Oscar-nominated composer, and cultural icon — is currently on his Big Money Tour: Jon Batiste Plays America, celebrating the release of his ninth studio album Big Money, which dropped on August 22, 2025.

The India leg of his tour comes after a series of high-profile achievements that have defined Batiste’s meteoric rise over the past few years. His 2021 album We Are broke records with 11 Grammy nominations across seven different categories — a historic feat. In 2023, his follow-up World Music Radio earned five Grammy nominations. That same year, he received an Oscar nomination for “It Never Went Away,” the emotionally stirring track from his Netflix documentary American Symphony.

More recently, Batiste’s Beethoven Blues stunned the classical world by topping Billboard’s Classical Albums Chart for nine weeks. He also made waves with a standout Super Bowl halftime performance, cementing his place as one of the most versatile and magnetic performers of this generation.

Now, Indian audiences will finally have the opportunity to witness Batiste’s genre-defying sound — an exhilarating fusion of jazz, classical, funk, gospel, and soul — in a live concert setting.

Ticket Information:

  • 🎟️ Pre-sale starts September 3 at 11 AM
  • 🌐 General sale begins September 5 at 11 AM
  • 🎫 Available exclusively on BookMyShow

The Delhi-NCR concert will be held at Plenary Hall, Bharat Mandapam, while the Mumbai venue will be announced soon.

With his explosive energy, masterful piano skills, and powerful message of unity and humanity through music, Jon Batiste’s India debut promises to be one of the most iconic music events of 2025.

After 18 Years in Goa, Sunburn Festival Moves to Mumbai in 2025 for a ‘Beyond Reality’ Experience


Mumbai | August 2025: In a massive cultural shift, Sunburn Festival, Asia’s biggest electronic dance music (EDM) event, is officially relocating from Goa to Mumbai for its 2025 edition. The announcement has sent waves through the music and travel communities, as the festival prepares to enter a new era in the heart of India’s financial capital.

The festival will be held from December 19 to 21, 2025, with venue details expected soon. Tickets will go live on BookMyShow from August 14, while RuPay Credit Card holders will receive early access starting August 12 at 12 noon.

“Beyond Reality” – A New Vision for Sunburn

In a social media announcement, the organisers said:

“This December, Sunburn invites you into a world BEYOND REALITY – a festival shaped by light, colour, and rhythm.”

They added that Mumbai would now become the home of Sunburn for the first time ever, promising an experience that is “larger in scale, elevated in experience, and alive with infinite possibilities.”

Goodbye, Goa

Since its inception in 2007, Sunburn has been synonymous with Goa, drawing millions of music lovers to its beaches and serving as a hub for international DJs like David Guetta, Martin Garrix, and DJ Snake. While Sunburn has hosted smaller events in Mumbai before, this marks the first full venue shift in nearly two decades.

The move is significant, as it means Goa loses one of its biggest annual tourism and cultural events. Many fans have expressed mixed emotions online—mourning the end of the iconic Goa backdrop while also embracing the energy that Mumbai promises to bring.

Social Media Reactions Pour In

DJ Sartek wrote,

“Goa wasn’t just a venue, it was a feeling—the breeze, the sand, the stories. Walking away from that is emotional. Mumbai, you’ve opened a new chapter.”

DJ Teri Miko responded with enthusiasm:

“Finally!!!!! Awesome news.”

Another fan added,

“Would love to travel to Mumbai instead of Goa. Well done, Sunburn.”

Some expressed relief at the shift, citing negative experiences in Goa:

“Great move, Sunburn. The Goa experience was very bitter. Congratulations for the new venue in Mumbai.”

Mumbai: India’s New Festival Capital?

With Lollapalooza already established in Mumbai, the addition of Sunburn Festival further cements the city’s place as India’s cultural and live music epicentre.

Organizers have hinted that Goa still holds sentimental value, but for now, the buzz is all about Mumbai—and the promise of a revamped, futuristic edition of Sunburn.
