Produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment experiential division of BookMyShow and Live Nation in collaboration with the Government of Assam, the concert marked a defining milestone for fans across the Northeast and for India’s rapidly expanding live entertainment landscape, underscoring the readiness and growing appetite of tier-two hubs for world-class, global-scale events. What unfolded was an evening steeped in emotion, energy and an unmistakable sense of cultural pride that firmly positioned Guwahati as a rising epicentre for world-class music experiences. Kicking off the evening is Kayan, whose warm vocals and genre-fluid sound set the tone for the night, the perfect prelude to Post Malone’s set. A mellow, immersive performance that drew everyone in, with Kayan’s style keeping the crowd grounded, yet electrified. She delivered some of her most popular songs such as ‘Cool kids’, ‘Good kinda love’ and ‘Hold me down’ which showcased her signature blend of soulful R&B, indie vibes and raw emotion. By the time Post Malone stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere transformed into something electric. Dressed in his signature relaxed style, he wore a white T-shirt featuring a graphic of the Indian map with the Taj Mahal prominently depicted and ‘India’ inscribed below. With a guitar slung over his shoulder, he stepped into the spotlight to a roar that swept across the Khanapara Veterinary Ground. From the very first chord, the connection was instant. His seamless blend of rap, rock, pop and country unfolded like a cinematic journey, shifting effortlessly between soaring guitar-driven moments and laid-back anthems that had the crowd singing along to every lyric. Reflecting on the development, Naman Pugalia, Chief Business Officer - Live Events, BookMyShow, said, “Tonight in Guwahati showcases the continued evolution of India’s live entertainment landscape. Post Malone’s ability to draw audiences across generations and cultures reflects a new India confident, connected and firmly positioned within the global music ecosystem. The overwhelming response from the Northeast reaffirms what we have long believed: the country’s cultural appetite is expanding rapidly, with emerging regions proving ready to host world-class talent. With the invaluable support and seamless coordination of civic authorities, we were able to execute a show of this scale with precision and utmost safety. This performance is not just an artistic milestone but a clear signal of how global entertainment experiences are evolving across India. It strengthens our commitment to bringing exceptional international acts to Indian stages and creating unforgettable moments for audiences nationwide.” Echoing this, Padmapani Bora, Managing Director, Assam Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC), commented, “Assam is entering an exciting new phase with the introduction of our Concert Tourism Policy, designed to position the state as a leading destination for international cultural experiences. Post Malone’s debut headline performance in Guwahati tonight marked a significant step in this direction bringing world-class music talent to the region while generating wider economic and cultural opportunities. Our partnership with BookMyShow Live reflects a shared vision to build a strong, sustainable ecosystem for live entertainment in Assam and to showcase the state’s distinct identity on the global stage.” Much like his celebrated international shows, Malone crafted an emotional arc rather than a conventional setlist. From ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Congratulations’ to ‘Circles’ and ‘Sunflower’, he captivated fans with his biggest chart-toppers. At one point, he turned to the crowd and said, “I am grateful to be back in India and in Zubeen Garg’s homeland”. These were the moments when the venue erupted, phones lit up and thousands of voices merged into one giant chorus an energy Guwahati experienced for the very first time.
