The performance will kickstart the musician’s world tour, which will continue till 2020.
On the occasion of Ilaiyaraaja’s 75th birthday, the musician will be performing at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). This will be the first-ever concert to be held at the airport premises. The concert will be held at the Concert Arena, which is located adjacent to the newly constructed South Access Road. According to reports, the musician will be performing songs in a number of languages, including Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. An audience of over 16,000 people is expected to attend. The legendary composer made a visit to the city on Thursday to announce the concert date and launch ticket sales. He said that he would be performing songs in a number of languages, without giving his fans a glimpse into his song list. He will be embarking on a world tour, starting with the concert in Bengaluru. Following this, he will also be performing in London, Paris, Oslo, Dublin, a number of cities in the United States and the Middle East. In India, he will also perform in Hyderabad, Kochi, Mumbai and his hometown Theni, Tamil Nadu. The world tour will continue until 2020. Earlier in July, the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) operators of KIA proposed the building of a Concert Arena on the airport premises. “BIAL plans to develop a world-class Concert Arena on a 6.3-acre land parcel at the Airport campus to cater to the growing demand for entertainment events in Bengaluru. Once complete, this arena would be the first of its kind to be built at an Airport in India. It is proposed to be a cost-effective, semi-permanent structure,” a BIAL spokesperson reportedly said. This is the first arena to be built on the same premises as an airport in India. Officials hope to host a wide array of events at the arena, ranging from concerts to exhibitions, conventions, award shows and more.
