Ed Sheeran’s performance, according to Meghalaya Tourism Minister Paul Lyngdoh, has elevated the state’s concert economy and music business to a new level. “Shillong has all the makings of a great music city in its natural DNA, as seen by his candid admission that this was the largest and finest crowd and concert he had ever attended in India. As you are aware, he is currently ranked number two in the world.” Additionally, the top priority for all of the musicians we have been able to draw thus far is that there be sufficient and well-kept lodging options.
As you can see from the interactions between the several organizers of these concerts, we have made great progress, and they have publicly stated that everyone wants Shillong to be included in their schedule for today. It is therefore a significant advancement for Meghalaya’s tourism sector generally and the music sector specifically.” He said between 30,000 and 35,000 people attended the Ed Sheeran show.
