Enrique Iglesias to Perform in India After 13 Years

After a 13-year hiatus, global pop superstar Enrique Iglesias is set to perform in Mumbai, India, on October 29 and 30, 2025, at the MMRDA Grounds, BKC, according to The Times of India. The concerts, organized by EVA Live and BEW Live in partnership with Mastercard, mark Iglesias’s much-anticipated return to the Indian stage since his 2012 tour. Pre-sale tickets sold out within hours, prompting the addition of a second show.

Speaking to India Today, Iglesias said, “I’ve always felt an incredible connection with my Indian fans. The energy, the love, and the passion are something I’ll never forget.” He added that he plans to visit the Taj Mahal during his stay, calling it “a dream I’ve had for years.” The event will feature a career-spanning setlist, from early classics like Hero and Bailamos to newer singles from his 2024 album Final Vol. 2.

A Landmark Moment for India’s Live Music Scene

The concerts are part of a larger push to re-energize India’s international music circuit. Business Standard reported that Mastercard’s collaboration with EVA Live will bring over 20 major music events to Indian cities through 2026, positioning Mumbai and Bengaluru as regional entertainment hubs. Organizers said that Iglesias’s shows will feature immersive LED visuals and interactive stage design, setting a new benchmark for production quality in India.

According to Moneycontrol, tickets for the Mumbai show ranged from ₹5,000 to ₹25,000, with VIP Gold passes selling out in less than 24 hours. “The demand has been phenomenal,” said Rishika Ghosh, spokesperson for EVA Live. “It proves that India is ready for world-class live music experiences again.”

The excitement also reflects the enduring appeal of Enrique Iglesias, who has sold more than 180 million records worldwide. As The Week noted, his upcoming tour symbolizes “a revival of large-scale, cross-cultural pop concerts” in post-pandemic Asia. Fans across social media have dubbed the Mumbai shows “the biggest comeback of 2025.” In Iglesias’s own words, “Music connects us no matter where we come from—and India has always felt like home.”
