Enrique Iglesias' Mumbai Return Sells Out, Day 1 Draws 25,000

A midnight Metro extension, backed by heightened security, kept the massive crowd moving.

Overview

  • The Spanish pop star performed two sold-out shows at Mumbai's MMRDA Grounds on October 29 and 30, marking his first India appearance since 2012.
  • Night one featured a roughly 90-minute greatest-hits set including Bailamos, Hero and Escape, with fans turning the venue into a 25,000-strong singalong.
  • Mumbai Metro Line 3 officially ran extended services until around midnight on both concert days, with MMRC announcing late departures to and from BKC.
  • Organisers coordinated traffic and venue safety with hundreds of personnel, including more than 300 traffic marshals and over 500 private security staff, to manage flows around BKC.
  • A fan’s tossed phone produced a viral moment as Iglesias caught it, took a selfie and lobbed it back; supporting sets by Progressive Brothers and Jonita Gandhi opened the show as celebrities packed the stands.
