Gurgaon: World-famous DJ David Guetta, who will perform in Bangalore on Sunday, perhaps had no idea of his fan base in India before he took to the stage in Gurgaon on Friday.
The Grammy award-winning French DJ was in for a pleasant surprise when he got to spin music to a packed audience of over 6,000 people, cheering and dancing to his power-packed tunes.
“When I left for India, I didn’t know what to expect. Whether to expect a crowd of 600 or 6,000. It’s so wonderful to see that it’s a crowd of 6,000-plus,” Guetta said in the midst of his show Friday night.
“I hope my friends are filming this because I want to remember this as one of my best memories this year,” said Guetta, drawing a loud applause.
He played his hits like When Love Takes Over, Gettin’ Over You, Without You, Sweat, Where Them Girls At and Sexy Bitch, before reaching a crescendo with I Got a Feeling. As the audience sang along, the musician was sure that he was playing to people who loved his music. “I never knew people in India knew my music so well,” he said.
Concert timing changed
The timing of David Guetta’s concert on Sunday has been changed. Earlier, the concert was scheduled to start at 8.30 pm. Now, it will start at 5.30 pm and get over by 8.45 pm.
The timing was changed because of the city police’s insistence, to enable them maintain smooth flow of traffic around the venue,
Palace Grounds. Just about a kilometre from where Guetta would be churning out his hits, another massive crowd-pulling event would be held. Eminent Islamic scholar Shaan-e-Mustafa Conference will be held at Krishna Vihar, Palace Grounds, on Sunday evening.
Additional commissioner of police, law and order, T Suneel Kumar, said together, both the events are expected to draw more than 25,000 people to Palace Grounds.
He said holding both the events at the same time would have created a rush around Palace Grounds. Besides getting timing of the concert changed, the police would be deploying extra policemen around both the venues to manage the crowd.
Organisers of the concert were miffed that now the fun-filled event would be over before 9 pm. They said the gates would be open at 4.30 pm and people could start collecting their tickets from 2 pm. Those coming for David Guetta’s concert will have to use the Gayatri Vihar entrance and exit from the Gemini Circus gate.
