The live gig scene in India is exploding like there's no tomorrow. While many international artists are looking at India as the perfect venue for shows, many artists are yet to arrive. Here are 10 international artists we would love to see live in India.
1. Giorgio Moroder
Credited as the pioneer of disco and electronic music, this legend has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry. From Donna Summer to Kylie Minogue, from Daft Punk to Sia, Giorgio has given us music that kept us on our feet all night long. Here's his awesome playlist. Like what you hear? Then catch him live and loud at the Johnnie Walker The Journey.
2. Adele
She's all of 25, but she has gathered millions and millions of fans all across the globe. Her beautiful voice, meaningful lyrics and soothing melodies make her one of the best live artists today. Who wouldn't want to hear Rolling in the Deep or Hello live? If she was to perform live in India, she could easily expect a full house. Until the time she performs here, you can make yourself happy by listening to all her songs here.

Their crazy antics on the stage combined with their awesome punk-rock music puts them on our list for artists that need to perform live in India.
6. Gorillaz
Their live shows are nothing short of pure fun.

9. Ed Sheeran
Imagine this very talented musician standing a few feet away, strumming his good old guitar and singing 'Don't'. I bet that would be a dream come true for a lot of people. His songs are relatable and extremely hummable. We won't be too surprised if most of the singing is done by the crowd itself. Catch the best of his music here.

Adam freakin' Levine. Need I say more? Maroon 5 has a very steady fan base that has grown with the years. They have been around for a while and have given one hit after another.
