After a 13-year wait, global pop superstar Enrique Iglesias made a roaring return to India on October 29, kicking off his two-day concert at MMRDA Grounds, BKC, with over 25,000 fans in attendance. The Grammy-winning artist delivered a 19-song setlist that spanned his greatest hits starting from the timeless Hero and Escape to dance-floor favourites like Bailamos and I Like It.
A night of music, memories, and magic
Produced by EVA Live, the Mumbai show has marked Enrique’s first-ever performance in the city, and fans called it nothing short of “a dream come true.” The atmosphere was electric, and the phones lit up like stars as the crowd sang every lyric in unison. Fans stated that they have been waiting for this over a decade for this and totally worth it.
Enrique’s set mixed soulful nostalgia with high-octane energy, his signature smile and effortless charm was winning over the Mumbai audience yet again.
Here are few key takeaways for Day 2 attendees
If you’re heading for the October 30 concert, here are a few tips to make the most of it:
Recharge your Band QR in advance as food and drinks vendors accept only band payments.
Top-up counters inside accept cash and cards but expect long queues.
Grab freebies early as raincoats, wristbands and souvenirs are limited.
Hydration hack: Buy a ₹50 reusable glass of water; refills are free all evening.
Footwear alert: Skip heels and opt for sneakers. You’ll thank yourself later.
Traffic warning: Expect jams post-concert as cabs and autos are scarce, so plan to walk a bit.
Metro services extended for concertgoers
In a thoughtful move, Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) extended its last train timings till midnight for both concert days. Posting on X, the Metro team wrote, “Heading to the Enrique Concert at BKC?
Don’t rush the finale - Aqualine’s got you covered!
Train services will run till 12 midnight on both concert days - 29th & 30th October 2025. Travel safe, travel smart with Metro Line 3."
The BKC station (Aqua Line) is just 1.4 km from the venue. Other nearby stations include Kurla (2.7 km) and Bandra (3.3 km).
From the crowd’s roaring energy to Enrique’s emotional rendition of Hero, the Mumbai concert reminded fans why he remains one of pop’s most loved voices. With extended metro hours, booming speakers, and a sea of cheering fans, Mumbai truly became Iglesias’ stage again.
