Kartik Kalla, Chief Creative Officer, Radio City, said, “Due to the pandemic, the world has come to a standstill and everyone is doing their bit by staying at home to flatten the curve. Radio City has always been at the forefront in executing initiatives that keep our listeners entertained and engaged. Radio City was the first FM broadcaster to initiate the Concert from Home concept way back in 2017, which we continue to do every year. This year, however, we started it early to entertain our listeners amid the lockdown. With this initiative, we have been bringing together 100 national and regional artists over a period of 30 days, to entertain our listeners across 39 cities. We advise everybody to stay indoors, stay safe, and tune in to Radio City to enjoy the concert by their favourite singers and performers, from the comfort of their homes.”

Speaking about ‘Concert From Home’, Shaan said, “We all are facing a tough time due to the lockdown; however, we know that we all are together in this fight against the pandemic. Music has been a go-to companion for many people and has been providing comfort during this down time. ‘Concert From Home’ is a great initiative by the Radio City team to connect the audience with their favourite artists. Music has always helped me get through testing times in my life and I am glad and honoured to share this gift with my fans and Radio City’s listeners to help uplift their spirits. I hope this brings joy and adds that needed sparkle in everyone’s daily lives.”
