National, September 9, 2024: In a ground-breaking initiative set to transform the live entertainment landscape, BookMyShow, India’s leading entertainment destination, has announced an innovative partnership with Indigo, India’s largest airline, to unveil the ‘Runway to Party’ campaign. This innovative partnership is set to elevate the consumer experience for music enthusiasts traveling from various cities to some of India’s most anticipated music events.
As infrastructure and connectivity continue to improve in India, the digital boom has fuelled the aspirations of young people nationwide, giving them unprecedented access to music and entertainment. Today’s consumers are more willing than ever to travel in search of exclusive, unforgettable experiences, connecting with like-minded fans who share their passion for music. This is evident from events like Bandland 2023, where 28% of the audience travelled from cities outside Bengaluru and Lollapalooza India 2024, where 36% of attendees came from cities outside Mumbai. These numbers highlight not only the growing demand for top-tier entertainment across the country but also the significant impact that the live entertainment industry has on tourism, with festival-goers contributing to local economies through their spending on accommodation, food and travel.
