Post Malone’s debut India concert was in 2022, a part of Zomato’s Feeding India initiative at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Race Course. His Guwahati show is scheduled to be held on December 8. However, there’s no official confirmation from the rapper yet.

Concert culture is seeing an unbridled rise in India. Earlier in January, British rock band Coldplay performed blockbuster gigs in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. Then, in February, global artist Ed Sheeran enthralled the audience with his concert across the nation.

A few days ago, Guns N’ Roses delivered an electrifying performance in Mumbai. (ANI)
