Akon's Delhi Concert Disappoints Fans
Meanwhile, several fans of Akon who attended his Delhi concert at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (JLN) on Lodhi Road in South Delhi from 5 pm to 10 pm on November 9 were left disappointed by the experience.
Attendees took to social media to complain about poor event management, faulty sound systems, and a chaotic layout. Another said, "Dogs**t set up for the Akon concert by district_india." What the f*** is this setup? I paid over Rs 3000 and can`t see the stage because there`s no good spot for me to stand. What a huge waste of my money. I spent the entire evening looking at a f***ing screen."
A second attendee stated, "Just wanted to offer a thanks to district_india for organising an awful Akon show! Thank you for spoiling the experience for the Millennials out there!"
Ahead of his shows in India, Akon had said, "India has always shown me so much love -- it's like a second home. The energy, the culture, the fans... it's on another level. I'm beyond excited to be back and perform live for y'all. This tour is gonna be something special -- let's make history together!"
Akon has topped global charts with hits like Right Now, I Wanna Love You, Smack That, Lonely, Beautiful, Don’t Matter, and Chammak Challo, among others.
