When the much-loved electronic musician took to the stage to perform live at the Bacardi NH7 Weekender after two pandemic-hit years, the large crowd went wild. In an exclusive chat with Mid-day Online, he spoke about the effect of the lockdown, what it felt like to perform live again, and why Pune will always be his favourite city

The crowd was in a trance as Indian singer-songwriter Ritviz performed some of his most popular hits as the headliner on Day 2 at the NH7 Bacardi Weekender in Pune. Like the conductor of an orchestra, the young artist — still only 25 years old — asked the audience to sing along to his tunes and, every time, they echoed in hypnotic unison. It showed not only how much people had yearned to listen to him but also how much they missed attending a live performance.
