An estimated 70,000 attendees are expected over the three days, drawing fans from across India to this grand musical event.

Each show transforms into a cosmic wonderland, enhancing the narrative of their album. Sustainability is also a key focus of the Music of the Spheres tour, featuring renewable energy, solar-powered stages, and biodegradable confetti, while encouraging fans to travel sustainably an essential message in densely populated India.
