Music tourism booms as over 5.6 lakh Indians travel for concerts in 2025: Report
India is no longer just watching entertainment, it’s travelling for it. BookMyShow’s Throwback 2025 report shows a breakout year for music tourism, with more than 5.6 lakh Indians crossing city lines to attend concerts. That movement alone pumped money into hotels, flights, cabs and local restaurants, turning gigs into mini-economies of their own.
The spike in concert-driven mobility comes alongside a broader rise in premium live experiences, which nearly doubled in footfalls in 2025. Fans increasingly opted for VIP pits, elevated decks and curated hospitality zones — a sign that India’s live entertainment market is maturing and becoming more experience-led.
