The India Tour reached its final destination at Fandom, Bangalore, and what unfolded that night was nothing short of extraordinary. A packed venue, a charged atmosphere, and a city that has always embraced music with an open heart, everything aligned for a finale that felt more like a celebration than a conclusion.

The Last Stop, The Loudest Heartbeat

As the lights dimmed and the energy inside Fandom quietly intensified, Snehdeep stepped onto the stage carrying the warmth and confidence of an artist who knew he was about to create something unforgettable. The show unfolded with such emotion and power that later that night, after the final applause had faded, he summed up the feeling in one heartfelt message on his Instagram story: “What a finale. With this, we conclude this season’s tour! Bengaluru, I love you.”
It was a reflection of the night’s magic, and the crowd had felt that sentiment long before he even typed it.
With him on stage was a phenomenal lineup of musicians who turned every composition into a living, breathing experience: Rusheel Chalse on keys, Surjeet Singh on tabla, Hiren Solanki on drums, Ameya Paranjpe on guitar, and Shubham Kanungo on bass. Their synergy created a soundscape where tradition met modernity, where classical intricacy merged seamlessly with contemporary expression. Fandom transformed into a realm where Ghazal, Sufi, Classical, and Folk didn’t just coexist, they danced together.

A Setlist That Became a Story

Every song that night carried a heartbeat of its own. The renditions weren’t just performed, they were lived. “Mast Kalandar” turned into a thrilling new chapter for listeners who’d been collecting its many versions over the years. “Maine Faqat Chaha Tha” emerged as the showstopper, a moment where voices across the hall softened into quiet awe. Ghazals, thumris, folk pieces, and nazms floated through the room with an elegance that felt timeless yet refreshingly young.
Someone in the audience whispered with excitement that the band should call this the “Awaragi Tour,” because the evening carried that spirit free, wandering, unbound. The audience swayed when the melodies melted, and simply stared in admiration when the vocals took over the room. The atmosphere carried a sense of collective nostalgia: for few, it was the surreal journey from listening to him in classrooms to now cheering for him under the stage lights.

Where the Audience Became Part of the Performance

It wasn’t just the music, it was the connection. Listeners were moved by how passionately the artist shared the stories behind ghazals and nazms, making everyone feel the poetry instead of just hearing it. One fan found themselves recalling how Sufi music isn’t just for older generations, and that night proved it - Gen Z, millennials, and classic ghazal lovers stood shoulder to shoulder, united by rhythm and emotion.
There was pride in the room too, the kind that trembles in the chest. A friend shouted out how far he’d come from those off-pitch college singing sessions, and how grit and joy had shaped him into the performer who owned the finale stage. Another listener summed up the night by saying that sometimes music fills the room, and sometimes it fills you and this band managed to do both.
People walked out telling each other how blissful his voice was, how the band felt like the perfect icing on the cake, and how this night would stay with them for a long, long time. Some were emotional, some exhilarated, but all walked away with hearts a little fuller.

A Night That Broke Boundaries

Early in the show, Snehdeep said something that resonated long after the last note faded: “Listen to something you can't hear elsewhere, but here.” And the Bangalore audience did, beautiful thumris, powerful ghazals, adventurous renditions, and contemporary touches that made the classics accessible, even magnetic, to younger listeners. His repertoire reflected not just skill, but a deep love for the art form.

A Finale That Felt Like a Beginning

As the final applause shook Fandom, it became clear that this wasn’t the end of a tour, it was the beginning of a bigger story. A story of an artist who blends tradition with youth, poetry with performance, and emotion with extraordinary musicality. A story of a band that plays like one heartbeat. A story of an audience that didn’t just attend, but participated, felt, and carried the night home with them. Bangalore didn’t just witness a finale.
Bangalore made it unforgettable.
