Ed Sheeran shares sneak peek of English-Punjabi fusion song Sapphire. Watch
Singer Ed Sheeran is planning to rule the playlists of every Indian music fan with his upcoming song 'Sapphire', which will have the English-born pop artiste sing in both his native tongue and Punjabi. The English-born pop star reportedly received help from singer Arijit Singh in crafting the Punjabi lyrics. Sheeran on Tuesday shared a brief snippet of the music video, filmed in India, on his Instagram handle. A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) Ed Sheeran shared a lyrical video of the upcoming song 'Sapphire', from his eighth studio album Play. In the video shared on his Instagram, Sheeran has a bodycam attached to himself, pointing in his direction, while he hangs out of an auto-rickshaw and roams the streets of Telangana, as is clear from the VIN number of another rickshaw passing by. The caption of the post reads, 'Riding around the streets of India missing high fives. Sapphire out June 5th, 8:30am ET / 1.30pm BST / 6pm IST.' Also Read: Organising Diljit Dosanjh, Hanumankind, Travis Scott concerts: 'Artiste fee between $1-8 million, demands for bright purple colour wafers,' BookMyShow CEO shares details This is another exciting chapter in Sheeran's already deeply established relationship with India, as the artiste has performed in the country on several occasions. He has talked about his love for Indian music in the past as well, calling Western pop music 'stagnant' and appreciating the Indian artistes who have their 'own wave'. His love for Indian artistes materialised when he and Arijit Singh performed together in London. The 'Perfect' singer has been seen enjoying football with John Abraham, performing with Diljit Dosanjh, and has even had an encounter with Bangalore police when they disrupted his impromptu concert on the streets of the city. His new song ' Sapphire' seems like a love letter to his relationship with the country, and fans are excited to hear Sheeran belt out in Punjabi. A user commented on the video posted by Sheeran, 'This is going to be THE SONG of the year,' while another commented, 'Someone please give him an Aadhar card already.' 'Sapphire' will release on June 5, while the album, which he actually completed in Goa, will be coming out in September.

Organising Diljit Dosanjh, Hanumankind, Travis Scott concerts: ‘Artiste fee between $1-8 million, demands for bright purple colour wafers,' BookMyShow CEO shares details
Concerts in India saw a huge boom last year, as more and more artistes around the world realised the potential of the Indian market. International acts like Guns N Roses, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, and Green Day have had more than successful outings in India, and BookMyShow is very much in the driving seat of this phenomenon. The ticket vendor website has become so much more than that, and its CEO Ashish Hemrajani told podcaster Raj Shamani recently about pulling off these huge shows and what all goes on behind the scenes. He described how every artiste has a 'rider', which is a list of requirements, and how they can sometimes be the strangest little things. 'Every artiste has riders. We have had artistes in the past who have asked us to put Doritos chips on the right side of the bed, with a certain ketchup. Some of these are just tricks; they are demands which are not at all possible, like asking for bright purple colour wafers. They put these bizarre things in there to check whether you are focusing on the contract and the fine print of it,' he added. ALSO READ: Coldplay's Ahmedabad show boosted the economy by Rs 700 crore; Gujarat being a dry state was a concern, says BookMyShow CEO: 'The show's budget was…' The CEO talked about the growing trends in music and how country and rap are genres that are the ones to watch for, with the former going through a huge resurgence. 'Country is coming back now, with artists like Teddy Swims and Post Malone; even Taylor Swift's music is seeping into country music. Hip-hop is also huge in the country; I mean, look at the way we sold tickets to Travis Scott – the tickets were gone in 20 minutes.' He also talked about how since Covid, independent music has rediscovered its space in India and named artistes like Anuv Jain, Jonita Gandhi, Kayan and Hanumankind. He also explained how the financial side of this business works and admitted that paying artistes to come and perform is something that is not feasible for a business. 'We have a separate artiste budget based on the number of tickets sold and the brand that are coming in. The payment for the bigger bands can range from $1 million all that way to $8 million; it could be anywhere in that space.' Hemrajani talked about the business aspect further and explained how growing artistes like Hanumankind and Jonita Gandhi sometimes end up losing money after performing live, but he still appreciates them. 'I like both of them because they are investing in the live touring side. Both of them put a lot of money into Lollapalooza; they invested almost double the amount of money they got paid. You look at the stage design, the outfits, the props, and there is a lot of effort that goes into these things.' Ashish is right to point out Jonita and Hanumankind, as it is very uncommon for artistes to pour in extra money for their performance at an event like Lollapalooza. Artistes generally invest in their stand-alone performances, when they are the only attraction on stage, because in those cases they have more control of what they can do, and they also have a better idea about the money that is coming in. That information helps them take that decision on how much they can afford to invest in things like stage design, outfits and props. BookMyShow has announced the lineup for next year's Lollapalooza, and their next big event will be the Travis Scott concert in New Delhi, as part of his Circus Maximus tour.

Coldplay's Ahmedabad show boosted economy by Rs 700 crore, Gujarat being dry state was a concern, says BookMyShow CEO: ‘Show's budget was…'
The idea to perform at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat was Coldplay's idea, said Ashish Hemrajani, the founder and CEO of BookMyShow. The band played five shows in India earlier this year, three in Mumbai and two in Ahmedabad. There were concerns about whether the Gujarat capital was infrastructurally capable of hosting such a massive live event, which saw over 2 lakh people in attendance, booked out local hotels, and fuelled an unregulated spike in ticket resales. In an interview with Raj Shamani, the BookMyShow CEO opened up about putting the events together, and the help and support that he received from top government ministers. 'To play in the world's largest cricket stadium, as a thought, came from the band,' he said, adding that work began a year prior to the actual show. Not only did they have to figure out how audiences will travel to and from the city, they also had to make sure that Gujarat being a dry state wouldn't hamper their enjoyment. He had to reach out to the Railway Minister to arrange for special trains from Mumbai, which was a tall ask at the time, seeing as the Mahakumbh was also taking place. Also read – Coldplay creates history with the 'biggest concert ever' in Ahmedabad: 'Totally mind-blowing' He said that he received an enthusiastic response from Jay Shah, who happily agreed to loan out the Narendra Modi Stadium. 'So, I had a partner in crime, and we went back to the band and said that it's happening,' he said, adding that the Ahmedabad shows contributed Rs 700 crore to the Gujarat economy. 'Ahmedabad's infrastructure has really improved… But getting into the city, there aren't enough flights. And around 75% of the people were coming from out of Gujarat. It was mathematically impossible to transport as many people into the city,' he said, adding that special support was necessary from the Indian Railways. He also addressed the potential losses from food and beverages. 'Gujarat has prohibition, so will people even come? Will people enjoy themselves? But it became the world's largest concert. Everybody came safely, they left safely. They didn't miss alcohol… Employment, hotel, airlines, food, travel, merchandise, spends in the city, we calculated what the average spend per-person in Ahmedabad was. The GST impact was Rs 72 crore, the overall impact was around Rs 700 crore, the direct impact was around Rs 250 crore,' he said, adding that the Ahmedabad show probably cost between Rs 30 crore to Rs 40 crore, minus artiste fees.
