The tour saw Alan Walker perform four high-energy shows across Guwahati, Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar and Jaipur this weekend, some cities that had never before witnessed a Walker spectacle. He also toured Kolkata, Shillong, Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Pune and Mumbai in October 2024. This chapter, the 13-city tour across India stands out not just for its reach but also for reshaping the geography of global music access in India, with Sunburn laying the building blocks to decentralise international live entertainment, especially the electronic dance music (EDM) community. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Making his debut in each of these cities, the Grammy-winning Norwegian DJ and music producer delivered explosive, high-energy sets, creating unforgettable experiences for over 200,000 fans across these 13 cities who turned up in massive numbers to be a part of this unprecedented milestone. Each performance was a high-octane mix of visuals, lasers and his signature melodic drops, transforming the venues into pulsating hubs of music and light. The atmosphere in every city was electric, drones in some and celebrity guest appearances in others, with Walkers singing along, waving flags and lighting up the night with phone torches and glowing merchandise. From the moment he opened with fan-favourite 'Alone' to his powerful closer 'Faded', the crowd was immersed in a non-stop sonic journey. Chart-toppers like 'Spectre', 'Headlights' and 'Better Off Alone' kept the momentum soaring, with each track seamlessly blending into the next. He invited audiences into a groundbreaking and immersive chapter of his artistry, delivering two-hour exhilarating performances in every city. A highlight of the tour was Walker's seamless connection with Indian audiences, as he infused each performance with special nods to the local music scene sampling regional favourites like 'Big Dawgs', 'Tambdi Chambdi' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa', to roaring applause.
