Fans hoping to see AR Rahman perform live in Gurugram this month will have to wait until next year. The composer’s November 21 concert has been postponed, with organisers yet to announce a revised date, reports NDTV.
The show was scheduled to take place at Backyard Sports Club as part of Rahman’s ongoing ‘Wonderment Tour’. Organisers have confirmed that the performance will be rescheduled for 2027.
Eva Live, the concert’s primary national producer, confirmed the postponement in a statement shared with The Indian Express. The company cited “unforeseen circumstances” and “last minute critical developments that cannot be avoided” as the reasons behind the decision.
Ticket holders have received cancellation emails, and the organisers are issuing full refunds. Ticket prices ranged from Rs 2,499 for general standing access to Rs 1,50,000 for premium VIP decks.
The postponement comes shortly after Rahman addressed criticism surrounding the music of Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming mythological epic ‘Ramayana: Rise of a Legend’, on which he collaborated with Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer.
The film’s song ‘Mangal Rang’, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, drew mixed reactions on social media, with some listeners questioning its qawwali-inspired musical arrangement.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Rahman said he remained his own toughest critic and did not expect everyone to appreciate his compositions immediately. He explained that musical decisions often take time, with some pieces undergoing months of work before reaching their final form.
