To ensure safety, more than 2,800 personnel, including Guwahati Police, private security teams, fire marshals and event staff were deployed in Post Malone Concert.
The Post Malone concert in Guwahati had a very special moment for the scores of Zubeen Garg fans.
The night became unforgettable for all the diehard fans of the late artiste when Post Malone paused mid-performance and remembered Assam’s icon Zubeen Garg and told the crowd, “I am grateful to be back in India and in Zubeen Garg’s homeland.”
The venue erupted instantly, phones flashing, voices rising, and thousands celebrating a shared cultural moment that Guwahati had never experienced before.
The Post Malone concert on Monday was a landmark cultural moment for Assam as the global music sensation lit up Guwahati with his first-ever solo headline performance in the country. The mega event, first under the Assam Government’s new convert tourism policy, marked a turning point not just for Assam, but also the Northeast’s expanding concert landscape.
The excitement was palpable long before the show began. According to the state tourism department, over 20,000 tickets were sold by Saturday, with demand continuing to surge even hours before the concert. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma revealed that some tickets went for as high as Rs 60,000, reflecting the unprecedented enthusiasm among fans.
The evening opened with a captivating set by singer Kayan, whose warm vocals and genre-fluid sound created the perfect prelude to the main act. Her mellow yet magnetic performance held the audience in a soft embrace, setting the emotional tone for what was to come.
Post Malone then took over the stage with an electric presence, delivering some of his most-loved tracks, including “Cool Kids,” “Good Kinda Love,” and “Hold Me Down.” His signature blend of soulful R&B, indie undertones and raw, heartfelt emotion resonated powerfully across the venue, turning the night into an immersive musical journey.
To ensure safety, more than 2,800 personnel, including Guwahati Police, private security teams, fire marshals and event staff were deployed. A unified Venue Operations Centre coordinated all teams in real time, supported by over 100 CCTV cameras monitoring the grounds.
What unfolded was an unforgettable evening of music, emotion and pride, firmly positioning Guwahati as a rising epicentre for world-class global concerts.
