“Aamchi Mumbai” is striking a new chord on the global stage as an increasing number of international artists add the city to their tour calendars. Digital travel platform Agoda’s latest data shows how concerts by global stars are attracting more and more domestic travellers, putting Mumbai firmly in the spotlight for music-led tourism.
Between February and July 2025, domestic accommodation searches for stays in Mumbai during concert dates rose noticeably compared to two weeks earlier. US singer songwriter Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus Tour scheduled for November 19 drove a 110% increase in accommodation searches, Spanish singer songwriter Enrique Iglesias’ shows on 29 and 30 October recorded a 160% rise, while US singer songwriter Akon’s 16 November performance registered 20% growth.
This momentum builds on the landmark Coldplay concerts in January 2025, which generated 3,300 times more domestic accommodation searches on Agoda compared to the week before the announcement. With more and more major names across a variety of musical genres scheduled to perform in the city, Mumbai is emerging as a key player on the global live music circuit.
“Mumbai’s live music calendar is more diverse than ever, attracting fans from across the country to experience global artists in world-class venues,” said Gaurav Malik, Country Director for the Indian Subcontinent and Indian Ocean Islands at Agoda. “The data shows a clear link between major concert announcements and travel interest, pointing to a healthy future for music-led tourism in the city.”
As more global acts include Mumbai in their tours, the city’s cultural rhythm is resonating far beyond its borders, opening new opportunities for hotels, venues, and local businesses. Travellers planning to attend these concerts can explore Agoda’s platform to find a wide range of accommodation options in Mumbai, along with activities and experiences to make the most of their visit to the city.
