One of the world’s most renowned instrumentalists, Job Batiste, is set to make his debut in India with shows this November. He will perform in Delhi and Mumbai.
For anyone who has followed Batiste’s journey, this latest announcement marks another thrilling chapter in the career of one of music’s most versatile and dynamic performers. The Louisiana-born artist has proven time and time again that he is more than just a musician over the last decade. With multiple award-winning performances, the artist is a cultural force who thrives on creativity and audience connection. Batiste first came into the global spotlight when he won an Academy Award for his work on Pixar’s Soul, a score that captured hearts with its warmth and depth. At the same time, millions of television viewers came to know him as the energetic bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. This was a role that he held for seven years. The instrumentalist’s ability to move seamlessly between television, film, and then live performances has helped him establish himself as a rare artist who could flourish in multiple places without ever losing his uniqueness.

His album ‘We Are’ became a defining moment in 2021. Critics and audiences both embraced the album, and it also secured Album of the Year at the Grammys. This was the achievement that placed the musician in the league of legends. Just two years later, Batiste followed up with World Music Radio, a project that earned five Grammy nominations and further underscored his reputation as a boundary-pushing musician who defies easy categorization. Now in 2025, the musician has returned with Big Money, said to be his boldest project yet. It was released on 22nd August and features an impressive collection of collaborations, including celebrated producer No I.D., the iconic Randy Newman, and the soulful Andra Day. The album has already captured listeners’ attention with its genre-bending energy and ambitious sound. The musician has also taken Big Money on the road across the United States.
He is now bringing his show and infectious energy to India. For the very first time, Batiste will bring his tour to Mumbai and Delhi, offering audiences a chance to experience his music in person. Speaking about this milestone, Batiste expressed his excitement: “India’s musical spirit has always inspired me. I’m beyond thrilled to finally perform in Mumbai and Delhi. This tour is about sharing joy, stories and sounds that bring us together and I can’t wait to experience that magic with all of you in India.”
The Indian leg of the tour is being produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live. Tickets for the Delhi-NCR performance at the Plenary Hall, Bharat Mandapam, will be available first through an artist pre-sale on 3rd September at 11 AM. This will be followed by general sales that will begin on 5th September on the BookMyShow platform. Details for the Mumbai show’s ticketing will be announced soon.
