It is so cool to hear him, his sincerity, learning and the way he describes his journey...!! This interview was pure gold!!! I remember being in lollapalooza this year and the insane crowd for imagine dragons...but how well other artists also were able to put up an incredible show...we Indians are fully ready for all sorts of music festivals!!! But more power to him and sunburn going International...very well deserved!

Wow, one of the best episodes of FO! I attended Sunburn Martin Garrix in Kolkata and it was a crazy experience. So good to listen about the intricacies of the festival business from the one and only. Hope to see more of such episodes in the future. Why not try to bring an EDM Artist to one of the episodes of FO?

Line of questioning couldve been better - should've asked how he started sunburn, early life of sunburn, how they expanded.

[@arjunsungh8078]

He is the worst kind of podcast artist , he doesn't know wht n why he is asking

[@sagarjaiswal402]

Insightful Podcast . I think the question on drug & overdose was sort of dodged nicely. Drugs is the dark side of all music festivals. Saying things like young crowd doesn’t consume them would be very foolish. I personally have been going to Goa for parties consistently 10 years. I have seen a lot of young people doing illicit substances. Some people handle them with finesse & some don’t. So saying that chemicals are not being sold or consumed in these festivals would be an understatement.

[@PareshVijay]

Very true... he is just hiding the truth of his music events where the drug abuse is even more than he cant even imagine... He tried his best to hide it...

[@sandalagrawal8587]

true, the guest was trying to be very safe with his words

[@goldentimes7731]

Just imagine Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding in India !! Their new song Miracle is just so crazy good

[@JD.TheMusician]

Thanks for this! Always wondered how concerts work and how the economics have evolved over time. It’d be great to have BookMyShow’s CEO come and talk about how the concert industry has evolved over time. Also about why some of the biggest pop acts - like Billie Eilish, Harry styles, Coldplay etc have done an Asia tour but not added India. Is it simply a money issue or something else too?

[@santanu29]

I think it is more to do with not being aware of the fanbase. I think they still think that India is not developed enough or because not many artists are coming. For example, the Era's tour has 3 dates in Mexico and for Asia there is only Singapore.

[@JD.TheMusician]

​@@santanu29 ​ I think with the data they get now (like they spoke in the podcast) estimating interest won't be an issue. I think its a money thing. For example if Calvin Harris charges a million dollars a night, I'm sure Taylor would charge 2 minimum. If they're not confident of breaking even on a Calvin Harris concert, other bigger pop acts become out of question. Ultimately it seems like it comes down to India having a lower buying power parity. Another example was U2 - they said they wanted to bring the proper experience with their screens etc which is why it took so long to play in India. Chris Martin during global citizen also said production wise they've done the best they can (they didn't have wrist bands for that). So seems like its a money thing.

You didn't ask how Karan got into this industry? What was his background? How sunburn was founded? His experience (anecdotes) with licensing & bureaucracy "Corruption"

[@adesignerlife]

Sunburn was founded by Shailendra Singh (SS) of Percept holdings. I have worked at P9 and around that time 2007 the Sunburn event was conceptualised by SS. We used to call the owners HS (Harinder Singh) and SS. Karan I think is HS’s son. Events and Celebrity management runs in their blood. It’s a crazy flash back I had while watching this video. Thanks Raj for this interview! Looking forward to many more.
