After a thirteen-year absence from Indian stages, global pop star Enrique Iglesias made a highly anticipated return to India, marking the event with heartfelt praise for his Indian audience. “It’s been a long wait, but the warmth and passion of the people here make every moment worth it,” Iglesias said ahead of his two-night concert in Mumbai.
The singer landed in Mumbai for his performance at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra Kurla Complex, drawing thousands of fans who sang along to his greatest hits. His return underscores the resurgence of large-scale international concerts in India and highlights how India continues to be a key stop for global artists.
In interviews, Iglesias reflected on his absence and the evolving Indian live-music scene. He thanked the Indian fans for sustaining his popularity across borders, and said that performing for them felt like reconnecting with long-lost friends. “When you see thousands of voices join in unison for songs from your early career, you realise how strong the bond is,” he remarked.
For many Indian fans, the concert wasn’t just a show-it was a moment of nostalgia and reconnection. Bollywood celebrities and social media influencers were spotted in the crowd, adding to the event’s cultural significance. The performance also speaks to India’s growing role as a destination for global entertainment.
Following his performance, Iglesias plans to spend a few days in India, explore local culture, and meet with his fans. For him, the trip isn’t just a concert stop-it’s a homecoming of sorts, reaffirming the enduring connection between an international star and his Indian audience.
