As a Bengaluru-based music lover, I'm thrilled but also a bit skeptical. The supporting acts look decent, but my main worry is the ticket pricing—BookMyShow has a history of making international concerts unaffordable for average fans. Hope they keep it reasonable.

This is massive for India's live music scene! As someone who moved from the US to Mumbai, I know how hard it is for global rock acts to tour here due to logistics. Kudos to BookMyShow for pulling this off. The lineup—especially The Pretty Reckless—adds great depth. Can't wait to mosh to 'The Pretender'! 🎸
