A Landmark Night for Rock in Mumbai

Mumbai recently witnessed a landmark night for rock music as legendary British band Def Leppard performed in the city for the first time, in a concert produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live. The evening began with a high-energy opening act by Indian rock band Indus Creed, who performed popular tracks like 'Top of the Rock', 'Fireflies' and 'Pretty Child'. Def Leppard's setlist traced the full arc of their celebrated career, seamlessly weaving together iconic anthems, hitting it off with 'Rejoice', building momentum with 'Let's Get Rocked', riding the riffs with 'Heartbreak', 'Photograph', 'Rock of Ages', 'Animal', 'Foolin'' and ended the night on a high with 'Pour Some Sugar on Me'. Each track was met with thunderous roars, reverberating the venue with their unwavering energy, as fans relived the music that has defined decades of rock history, as per the press release.

Joe Elliot on Performing in India

Joe Elliot, the lead singer of the band, spoke about their excitement to perform in India and chuckled that it only took them 49 years to get here. Joe also took to the stage solo, performing 'Two Steps Behind' in a moment that had the entire crowd singing along. He shared that while fans often request a solo performance, this was the first time he had honoured that request, making the evening all the more memorable for fans in Mumbai.

Reflecting on the band's journey, Joe added, "If someone had told us back then that we'd one day perform for a crowd in India, I would have laughed. When you're 16 or 17 and starting a band, you never imagine it going this far." The concert drew fans across generations, with families, long-time followers and new listeners coming together to celebrate rock music.

Following earlier performances in Shillong, the Mumbai concert marked another major stop in the band's India tour, with Bengaluru set to host the final leg. (ANI)
