Update: Rejoice fans: David Guetta to perform in Mumbai AND NCR on Sunday
David Guetta's fans in India are in for a rough ride as the world-famous French DJ's shows are being cancelled across the nation one by one, as permission is being denied for his concerts. Superintendent of Police (rural) GB Nagar said that permission has been denied for his January 15 concert in Greater Noida in view of section 144 ahead of UP Elections.
In Mumbai, the DJ's concert was cancelled on Friday as authorities denied permission reportedly due to lack of proper documents. Whereas in Bangalore, Guetta's show was scrapped with organisers citing "law and order situation" following the molestation incident during New Year's Eve as the reason.
Shailendra Singh, founder of India's Sunburn Festival, said that it's painful and surely a big loss for the country because he was performing in Bengaluru for charity. He also said that all Guetta's performance fee was going towards educating children, adding that the show, as of now, has been postponed and being citizens of India they must abide with what authority has decided.
The DJ is on a four-city tour, which was expected to begin from Bangalore and then move to Mumbai, Hyderabad and New Delhi.
However, as of now he will be keeping his date with fans in Hyderabad with authorities giving nod to the event scheduled for Saturday.
The two-time Grammy award-winning artiste will perform at the Hitex Exhibition Centre in Gachibowli and police officials said the organisers, Sunburn, had approached them last week and permission has been granted. "Permission has been granted for the concert," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Madhapur Zone) Vishwa Prasad told PTI.
The organisers had sought permission for holding the event last week and the same has been accorded, another police officer said, adding the concert should end by 10 PM. Around 4,000-5,000 people are expected for the event, he said. "Welcome to Hyderabad David Guetta. Look forward to hosting you tomorrow. Cyberabad police committed to ensure a glitch free event as always," the official Twitter handle of Cyberabad police posted, which was retweeted by Sunburn.
