New Delhi: Enrique Iglesias is scheduled to return to India after 13 years. The singer-songwriter will perform in Mumbai on 30 October at the MMRDA Grounds, BKC. His last concert in India was in 2012, and it was a sold-out event.
Enrique shared the venue and the date for the concert on his Instagram story. The Mumbai show precedes his next engagement in Abu Dhabi on his touring calendar.
The upcoming concert is part of a broader trend of international artists performing in India. Recent acts have included Guns N’ Roses, Coldplay, Bryan Adams, Maroon 5, Akon, Alan Walker, Glass Animals, Ed Sheeran, and Dua Lipa. Travis Scott is also scheduled to perform in Delhi on 18 and 19 October as part of his Circus Maximus World Tour.

Three decades of music
Enrique, who first gained popularity in 1995 with his debut album Enrique Iglesias, has since sold over 180 million albums and amassed over 40 billion streams. His song Bailando recently crossed 7 billion streams. He holds the record for 154 No. 1 singles across Billboard charts, including 27 No. 1 singles on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart. His accolades include multiple awards like Grammys, Billboard Awards, American Music Awards, and ASCAP.
In 2019, the Spanish singer had posted a nostalgic clip from his last India tour on his official X handle. The video showed a fan chasing Enrique on a bike, while the singer is being interviewed inside a car.
“One of my favourite places in the world! I love you, #India. Can’t wait to be back!! #TBT,” read the caption.
The upcoming India concert is being organised by EVA Live in partnership with BEW Live. Enrique is expected to present a setlist covering his three-decade career. “Bringing Enrique Iglesias back to India after 13 years is a truly historic moment. The anticipation among fans has been palpable, and we are overjoyed to facilitate this reunion,” said Deepak Chaudhary, Founder and Managing Director, EVA Live, the company who also hosted Bryan Adams in India last year for the So Happy It Hurts tour.
