Through the last couple of years that the world was deprived of large-scale concerts and tours due to pandemic regulations, French EDM artist DJ Snake aka William Grigahcine had repeatedly mentioned that India would be one of the first countries he’d return to perform in once the situation eased.
Now, he’s kept that promise with the announcement of a six-city tour as part of concert series Sunburn Arena, starting November 18th in Ahmedabad and ending on November 27th in Bengaluru. The hitmaker behind songs like “Disco Maghreb,” “Taki Taki” and “Magenta Riddim” will also perform in Delhi NCR on November 19th, Hyderabad on November 20th, Pune on November 25th and Mumbai on November 26th. Tickets will go live on August 22nd, 2022 at 12pm, with prices starting ₹999 upwards.
The artist is no stranger to India at all, given that he’s toured the country multiple times and last performed in the end of 2019 at Sunburn’s annual festival edition in Goa. During the pandemic, DJ Snake also took on an Indian collaboration, remixing the Tamil song “Enjoy Enjaami” (by Dhee, Arivu and Santhosh Narayanan) for Spotify Singles. The artist said in a statement, “I am excited to be coming back to India. When I visited India during Holi 2019 and Sunburn Goa 2019, the energy and vibe was so upbeat and positive everywhere. It is always amazing to travel to different cities in India. The cultural exposure inspires my music and India certainly tops in that area.”
Snake told Rolling Stone India in a previous interview in 2021 about his visits to the country, “My Indian fans are super crazy and I love them. During this pandemic, they never stopped showing love on social media. There is a powerful connection between us and I don’t know, it’s hard to explain, but it’s magic. And it’s real. I feel the love and I think they feel it’s real, it’s organic, and I just can’t wait to be back.”
CEO of Sunburn Karan Singh said about the upcoming tour, “The pandemic put a temporary break on our Arena shows, but now we are back with some of the biggest names in the global music industry to entertain our fans pan India. Sunburn fans can look forward to an amazing hi-tech entertaining Arena experience this fall.”
