As the daughter of iconic Bollywood playback singer Kumar Sanu, Shannon will step into the global spotlight with her debut at one of the world’s most celebrated music festivals. Her appearance marks a historic milestone, making her the first independent singer of Indian origin to represent India at Coachella.
The legendary festival is set to take place in Indio, California, over two weekends—April 11–13 and April 18–20—at the Empire Polo Club. With an expected crowd of 120,000 music enthusiasts, the stage is set for Shannon K to make a powerful impression.
In a statement released through her team, Shannon shared her excitement, calling the opportunity a dream come true. “It’s every Indian-origin indie artist’s dream to reach such a stage. Indian talent is immense and often overlooked. This is just the beginning, and I’m thrilled,” she said.
Known for her distinctive voice and electrifying stage presence, Shannon plans to deliver a performance that merges original indie-pop with a tribute to her roots. Alongside her popular tracks, she’ll also revisit some of her father’s most beloved Bollywood hits—creating a nostalgic yet fresh musical blend.
Shannon’s set will include fan-favorite songs such as Give Me Your Hand, which catapulted her into international fame and earned her the Best International Singer Award. Her Coachella lineup will also feature A Longtime, Always, Run, Retrace, and OMT, her standout collaboration with Indian music legend Sonu Nigam.
Over time, Shannon has forged a unique identity in the global music landscape. Her rise has been marked by a commitment to both innovation and cultural fusion. This Coachella debut cements her as a breakout indie artist representing Indian music on the international stage.
Following in the footsteps of artists like Diljit Dosanjh and AP Dhillon, Shannon K’s Coachella performance highlights the growing impact of South Asian artists in global music spaces. For Shannon, this isn’t just a performance—it’s a moment of pride, culture, and global recognition.
