AR Rahman's Gurgaon concert delayed to next year, tickets fully refunded

AR Rahman's planned performance at Backyard Sports Club in Gurgaon has been moved to next year, and all ticket holders will get a full refund. The show was part of his Wonderment Tour and was set for 21 November. Ticket prices ranged from Rs 2,499 for general standing spots to Rs 1,50,000 for premium VIP decks. Eva Live, the national producer handling the event, said unexpected issues and last‑minute critical changes forced the postponement, and a new date has not yet been announced.

Reaction

The ticketing platform District by Zomato marked the event as cancelled, and its support handle confirmed the cancellation to fans on social media. A statement expressed regret, acknowledging the disappointment for fans who were looking forward to the concert and apologising for the inconvenience.

Additional Tour Updates

The Kolkata leg of the same tour, originally set for 11 January, has also been shifted, now slated for 11 April after local partner Rhythm Box India cited scheduling considerations.

Background

Last year, a concert titled “AR Rahman: Harmony of Hearts” in Delhi was abruptly cancelled a day before the show, with organisers blaming production constraints and fans reporting over‑booking at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.

Upcoming Appearance

Two days ago, organisers announced Rahman will headline Day 1 of the 11th Jashn‑e‑Rekhta festival, a celebration of Urdu literature, with a performance called “Noor‑e‑Ishq” scheduled for 29 January at Baansera Park, New Delhi.

Context

Concert postponements can occur when logistical or regulatory hurdles arise, and ticket platforms typically issue refunds to protect buyers. Such changes often affect tour schedules and lead to rescheduling of future shows.
