Bollywood's powerhouse, Ranveer will perform to a medley of chartbuster songs from his own films.

Mumbai: British rock band Coldplay is performing in India and everybody knows that. After weeks of speculations and rumours, the Global Citizen, a non-profit organisation itself confirmed the news.

While so far we have heard many big names of our Indian celebrities who’'ll join the stage with Coldplay and other international artist, the fresh one to join the list in Bollyowod’s powerhouse, Ranveer Singh. According to recent reports, the actor will perform to a medley of chartbuster songs from his own films.

Reports further reveal that the actor will be the opening act for Coldplay and will also perform alongside Major Lazer.

In the 6 hour long concert, which is organised by the Global Citizen Festival and will take place in November 19th, we’ll witness many artists performing live. The concert will be held in Mumbai and will mark Coldplay’s debut. Global Citizen Campaign brings a series of concerts around the world to address the issue of poverty.

The British band was in India last year where they did a secret gig inside a Delhi pub. So the minute the reports about Coldplay doing a concert in India broke out, people were thrilled and on their toes for more details.

The excitement turned to agitated dismay soon enough when news started trickling that the tickets were priced at a ludicrous minimum of Rs. 25,000. This led to a cluster of memes cropping up and the internet had been broken. However, the Global Citizen Festival put all the rumours to rest by announcing that one can attend the concert for free.

Global Citizen Festival’s official statement reads, "We’re so excited to be announcing that on World Toilet Day — November 19th — we’re hosting the first-ever Global Citizen Festival in India, with an incredible lineup of international and Indian headliners including Coldplay! Just like our annual festival in Central Park, tickets to the Indian Festival will be FREE. Fans will earn them through taking actions in support of education, equality, and sanitation campaigns."
