Music composer-singer AR Rahman’s much-anticipated Delhi NCR concert, part of his ongoing Wonderment Tour and scheduled to take place at the Backyard Sports Club in Gurgaon, has been officially postponed. Fans who invested anywhere from Rs 2,499 for general standing to Rs 1,50,000 for premium VIP decks have already received cancellation emails alongside full refunds.The Indian Express, in an official statement attributed to Eva Live, the primary national producer for the concert, linked the postponement to “unforeseen circumstances” and “last-minute critical developments that cannot be avoided.” Representatives for the firm confirmed that the concert has been pushed to next year, though a revised date remains unannounced.Meanwhile, ticketing partner District by Zomato updated the status as ‘cancelled’.
Responding to disappointed fans on X, the platform's official support handle, ‘District Care’, posted: “We understand how disappointing this news must be, especially if you were looking forward to the concert. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the AR Rahman concert in Delhi on November 21st has been cancelled.
We sincerely regret that things didn’t work out as expected and apologise for the disappointment caused (sic).”This postponement follows a series of scheduling updates across the tour. The composer’s upcoming Kolkata leg, originally slated for January 11, has also been pushed to April 11 due to “scheduling considerations,” according to an Instagram update by local partners Rhythm Box India.Live music enthusiasts in the capital will recall last year's turbulence, when numerous tickets for the AR Rahman: Harmony of Hearts arena show at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium were abruptly cancelled 24 hours prior amid organiser citations of “production constraints,” leaving out-of-town travellers stranded despite subsequent claims of venue overbooking.Amid these concert updates, AR Rahman was recently unveiled as the headline attraction for Day 1 of the 11th edition of Jashn-e-Rekhta.
