Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber’s maiden concert in India, a part of his Purpose World Tour which is scheduled for May 10, has become a Heruclean task for the organisers.
While organiser Arjun Jain of White Fox India has succeeded in bringing the 23-year-old music star to grace the shores of Mumbai, it is Bieber’s “extravagant” demands that are bound to give him nightmares.
While the concert is supposed to take place on May 10, it is reported that Bieber will be coming to India three days before his gig, May 7.
Before his concert, Bieber will be exploring the sights and sounds of India. Be it food, places to visit or lavish parties to India, he has all on his checklist.
Here is the list of the ultra-luxurious demands that are bound to give the organisers “sleepless nights”. Let’s take a look.
- A convoy of 10 luxury sedans and 2 Volvo buses will be at the disposal of the artist and his entourage of 120 people throughout their stay, along with a Rolls Royce reserved for Bieber himself.
- Apart from the Grammy winner’s eight personal security guards, there will be special security cars comprising of Z+ security and Maharashtra Police personnel.
- 10 big containers will be flown in with items like a ping pong table, playstation, IO HAWK, sofa set, washing machine, upholstery, wardrobe cupboard and massage table. A Jacuzzi has also been arranged for Bieber’s personal use in which he will unwind before taking to the stage.
- Two 5-star hotels have been booked for security reasons. During the 4-day stay, top culinary experts from across the country will supervise the gourmet being served to Bieber with 5 dishes per day being renamed after his popular songs.
- The hotel will redesign his suite and incorporate Mogul paintings, antique furniture and signature Kashmiri bedroom linen. His room will be adorned with purple carnations as purple is his favourite colour.
- Keeping Bieber’s comfort in mind, a licensed female masseur from Kerala will be provided to Bieber on all four days of his stay.
- A special Indian Yoga Casket containing aromatic essential oils, jasmine, mogra, rose and camphor incense sticks; and books on chakras and yoga asanas will be placed in his suite.
- For Bieber and his team, the hotels have sorted rooms with the best view in the quietest part with only king-size beds and 24-hour fitness centre and steam room.
- Bieber has requested that his dressing room be entirely draped with white curtains, a large glass-door refrigerator, clothing shelves, eight power outlets and 12 white handkerchiefs.
- To quench his thirst, the Canadian pop star has demanded 24 still water bottles, 24 alkaline water bottles, four energy drinks, six vitamin water bottles, six cream sodas, along with a cooler packed with assorteden juices fizzy drinks.
- He has also requested vegetables seasoned with ranch sauce, diced fruit, organic bananas and seedless grapes. Snacks must also include a deli platter of organic turkey, lettuce, colby and provolone cheese, black olives, as well as green and banana peppers.
- Backstage demands include white sliced bread, potato chips, mint and watermelon gum, white cheddar popcorn, Ghiradelli dark chocolate with sea salt and almonds, menthol and watermelon gum, vinegar chips, organic dried fruit, peanuts, and all berries cereal.
- The promoters have also kept a private jet and chopper on standby to meet Bieber’s immediate travel demands. A first in the history, Bieber will be flying into the stadium on a chopper and not taking the road as most international artists do in India.
