Manifest the Vibe: Enrique Iglesias Live in Mumbai

Enrique Iglesias performing live on stage, spotlight highlighting his signature romantic energy—concert teaser for Mumbai 2025

After more than a decade, Enrique Iglesias is finally returning to India — and Mumbai is about to feel the rhythm. On October 29 and 30, 2025, the global pop icon will perform at the MMRDA Grounds, BKC, marking his first India show in 13 years. For fans, this isn’t just a concert; it’s a long‑awaited reunion, a chance to manifest joy, music, and memories in the heart of the city. As part of my Manifest Series, this post is about receiving that rhythm before it even begins.”

Okay, but how do you even prepare for Enrique Iglesias live? The man who gave us Hero, Bailando, and Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You) is finally bringing his global tour to Mumbai. And this isn’t just another concert—it’s a moment. A vibe. A rhythm we’ve all been waiting to receive.

What to Expect at the Enrique Iglesias Mumbai Concert

Enrique isn’t just a singer—he’s an era. For Gen-Z, he’s the soundtrack of throwback playlists, TikTok edits, and late-night karaoke sessions. For millennials, he’s nostalgia wrapped in romance. And for everyone in between, he’s proof that music doesn’t age—it evolves.

Enrique Iglesias performing live on stage, spotlight highlighting his signature romantic energy—concert teaser for Mumbai 2025

Â

This October, he’s performing at MMRDA Grounds, BKC, Mumbai on October 29 and 30, 2025. Tickets are already selling fast on Viagogo, and the buzz is everywhere.

But here’s the thing: this isn’t just about showing up. It’s about aligning with the energy. It’s about manifesting the moment before it even happens.

Enrique Iglesias Mumbai Concert Setlist Highlights

While the official setlist is under wraps, let’s be real—we know the essentials are coming:

  • Hero (cue the collective scream-sing)
  • Bailamos (Spanish lyrics + desi crowd = magic)
  • I Like It (Nicki’s verse will live rent-free in our heads)
  • Escape (because no Enrique concert is complete without it)

Hit play and let the rhythm find you — this is the energy we’re manifesting before Enrique even lands in Mumbai.”

And maybe just maybe, a surprise collab or mashup. Because Enrique loves to keep fans guessing.

Enrique Iglesias, in his words-

“What keeps me going is my love for performing and creating music.”

Â

The show highlights from my entire catalogue through the years. They are some classics, some new ones and while there elements of nostalgia from Bailamos, Escape, Hero and other ones. I also see younger generation performing nostalgic memories from the newer hits as well.”

Â

Gen-Z Energy at the Enrique Iglesias Concert

This isn’t just a concert—it’s a content moment. Expect:

  • LED signs with “Main Character Energy”
  • Someone threw a bucket hat on stage. He wore it.
  • Insta stories were on fire—#EnriqueInMumbai was trending before the encore
  • Fans manifesting front-row vibes with vision boards and lucky charms
  • Insta stories, TikToks, and Reels are flooding your feed before the encore even ends
  • Outfit inspo: sequins, bucket hats, and a little bit of Y2K revival

For Gen-Z, this isn’t just about hearing the music—it’s about being the vibe.

Manifestation Meets Music

In the spirit of this Manifest Series, let’s pause and reflect:

“You were never meant to struggle for what is meant for you.”

— Eva Hartley, Manifest and Receive

That’s exactly what this concert feels like. You don’t chase the vibe—you align with it. You don’t force the moment—you receive it. And when Enrique sings “I can be your hero, baby”, it’s not just a lyric—it’s a reminder that music can hold us, heal us, and hype us all at once.

Â

How to Be Part of It

  • Get your ticket: Book on Viagogo before they sell out
  • Manifest your moment: Whether it’s front row or dancing in the back, set your intention
  • Join the conversation: Hashtags like #EnriqueInMumbai, #ManifestAndReceive, and #RhythmNotRush will be everywhere
  • Stay tuned: I’ll be covering the concert on my blog and socials—so even if you can’t make it, you’ll feel the rhythm

  • Closing Manifest

    This isn’t just about Enrique. It’s about us. About choosing rhythm over rush, clarity over chaos, and joy over noise.

    So here’s my Manifest for this week:

    “This rhythm is mine. It’s aligned. And it’s enough.”

    See you at MMRDA Grounds. Let’s receive the rhythm together.

As Eva reminds us: you don’t chase the vibe—you receive it. And this rhythm? It’s already yours.”

Discussions around how art institutions and practitioners in the city are harnessing the power of tech, how poets and women writers engage with and write about the city, about wildlife in the city and the role of technology in the protection of local biodiversity, and a discussion delving into the virtual and digital world of gaming, its relationship with art and the gaming culture in the city.

Panels on the role of philanthropic individuals and institutions and 6:00 PM mapping towns within the city, as well a discussion on heritage textiles, interior finishes, and the Swadeshi movement in the context of Mumbai. Most recently, a closer look at the Maritime history of Mumbai and its relationship with the Sea.

Vivid Sydney

Vivid Sydney 2016

The Sydney Vivid festival is a fantastic way to spend a Winters evening (Ideally if it’s not raining). See Sydney’s landmarks transformed into moving images and amazing colours during the festival.

From around 6pm – 11pm each night in Late May / Early June spend a few hours strolling around Circular Quay, the botanical gardens, and Martin Place, with other displays in the Rocks and places in the CBD. The displays are amazing and very entertaining. Not forgetting it’s all absolutely Free, which is a bonus these days.

I would suggest trying to avoid the weekend evenings if possible as it’s very busy, but that’s the downside of a great event.

Vivid Sydney
Vivid Sydney 2016

Vivid Sydney is an annual festival of light, music and ideas. It has become the premier winter event in the city. It is gaining a reputation for being among the world’s leading creative celebrations. This year the festival is on from 27 May – 18 June 2016.

To experience VIVID in different ways, there are events that take place every day throughout the city. The simplest way is to arrive in the city at nightfall and wander around until the installations light up your eyes. Maps are available to guide visitors through everything.

Another great way to experience it all is to book a specially created tour for the event. You can take a cruise around the Sydney Harbour and see the lights from the water, or go behind-the-scenes at the Sydney Opera House while the outside is lit up!
