The concert’s production was equally impressive. A remote-controlled blimp camera floated over the crowd, capturing the energy of the night, while giant LED screens showcased the audience’s enthusiasm, turning them into an integral part of the show.
Adams’ longtime bandmates—legendary guitarist Keith Scott, keyboardist Gary Breit, and drummer Pat Steward—were instrumental in elevating the performance.
Reflecting on the night, Bryan Adams expressed his excitement: “The energy in Gurugram was electric! The connection with the audience was palpable; it was a truly special night. It felt good to be back performing for all of you after so many years,” he said in a press statement.
The event was a roaring success, organized by EVA Live. Deepak Chaudhary, the company’s founder, shared his thoughts on the concert’s impact: “The show sold out in record time, which shows how much Bryan Adams is loved here. But it wasn’t just about ticket sales—it was about creating a memorable experience. Seeing the joy and energy in the crowd was the most rewarding part.”
