The Grammy and Oscar-winning musician Jon Batiste, best known for blending jazz, soul, hip-hop, R&B and just about every sound that makes your heart race, will make his India debut this November.
The Louisiana-born artiste will perform in Delhi-NCR on November 24, 2025, and in Mumbai on November 26, 2025.
Produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, tickets are slated to go live on September 3, 2025, at 11 am as part of an artist pre-sale, followed by general sale starting on September 5, 202,5 at 11 am on BookMyShow.
Batiste said in a statement, “India’s musical spirit has always inspired me. I’m beyond thrilled to finally perform in Mumbai and Delhi. This tour is about sharing joy, stories and sounds that bring us together and I can’t wait to experience that magic with all of you in India.” The show is described by organizers as Jon Batiste at the piano, and is part of The Maestro series of gigs.
Naman Pugalia, BookMyShow’s chief business officer of live events, says, “At BookMyShow Live, we’re opening new doors for Indian audiences by bringing the world’s most iconic artists to our stages and shaping India’s place in the global live entertainment story. Jon Batiste’s music speaks a universal language, and his India debut is both a cultural milestone and a rare, moving experience for fans in the country.”
Batiste has had a mercurial rise to global acclaim for his genre-bending ways, often incorporating jazz, soul, R&B, and hip-hop, among other styles, into albums like We Are (2021) and World Music Radio (2023). On August 22, he released his seventh album, Big Money.
His 2021 album We Are didn’t just win over critics — it took home Album of the Year at the Grammys. Two years later, his album World Music Radio earned five Grammy nominations, solidifying his place as an unstoppable creative force.
