Raftaar's College Fest Performance Marred by Controversy: A Tale of Disappointment and Frustration

India is slowly becoming a very lucrative playground for live concerts,with major international artists flying in to perform at the biggest events.This pushes local talent to do more and more shows in order to compete with the fast and growing times. One of those artists is Raftaar, a rapper who recently courted controversy by questioning the organising committee of a college fest for seating the faculty close to the stage and pushing the students to the back. Any kind of live performance is only successful when there is aconnection between the audience and the talent.That is one of the biggest reasons why sometimes even established artists, who are capable enough to fill out stadiums, sometimes perform in small spaces, to make it a more personal experience. This is what Raftaar hoped for when he arrived with his crew to perform at a college fest, but the artist was left disappointed during his set.
