When Afro-house star Francis Mercier brings his globally-acclaimed Solèy show to Mumbai this October, it won’t just be another international act hitting the city. Sunburn Arena ft. Francis Mercier‘s performance will feel like a cultural crossover moment. Known for his soulful, cross-genre sound and electrifying live sets, Mercier will perform at NSCI Dome, Mumbai on October 10th, 2025, bringing the same spirit that’s lit up Ibiza dancefloors and global festival stages. Expect a celebration of rhythm, diversity and borderless sound, culminating in a night that’s equal parts euphoric and soul-stirring.
Here’s why Francis Mercier’s music connects so naturally with the Indian spirit:
- Drums That Could Be Our Own
The heartbeat of Solèy lies in its hypnotic, driving percussion. For Indian ears, that pulse feels almost like déjà vu, echoing the dhols at a baraat or the nagadas during Navratri. Different instruments, same instinct: a communal rhythm that commands your body to move, just like EDM does when the bass drops.
- Carnival Feels a Lot Like Our Festivals
The vibrant, larger-than-life energy Mercier channels on stage mirrors the chaos and joy of festivals like Navratri and Holi. Both thrive on music as a shared release, where sound becomes celebration. That’s why Solèy feels so at home, it’s a global festival spirit, plugged into EDM.
- Gen Z India is Already Vibing
Scroll through any playlist and you’ll find Afro-house, amapiano and underground global beats sitting right next to Bollywood and Punjabi anthems. For young Indians, Francis Mercier isn’t some distant discovery, he’s already on the AUX, on the dancefloor and in the vibe. Solèy just turns up a frequency we were already tuned into, bringing it live.
- Because India Lives in the Light
At its core, Solèy is about celebrating light, the spirit and energy that unites people on the dancefloor. And in India, from diya-lit Diwali nights to firecrackers filling the sky, light is our language. No wonder Mercier’s philosophy feels instantly familiar: we’ve always danced in the glow.
