The Future of Entertainment in India: Trends for the Next Five Years
24 November 2025
Entertainment in India is changing faster than ever before. From live concerts to stand-up comedy, techno festivals to spiritual music events, people today are exploring new ways to enjoy their free time. Every age group has its own unique preferences, and together, they create a powerful shift in India’s entertainment industry. Over the next five years, these trends will grow even stronger — and platforms like Wowsly will play a major role in making event ticketing simpler, safer, and more organised.
In this blog, let’s understand the upcoming entertainment trends in India and how different age groups are shaping these changes.
1. The Rise of Live Entertainment in India
The biggest trend for the coming five years is clear — live entertainment.
People no longer want to just watch content on phones and TV. They want experiences. They want to step out, enjoy music, laugh with others, meet new people, and feel the energy of a real audience.
Two segments are growing extremely fast:
✔ Live Concerts
Music lovers across all ages are attending more concerts than ever. From Bollywood concerts to indie music shows, EDM nights to classical performances — the industry is booming.
✔ Stand-Up Comedy
India’s stand-up culture has exploded. Clean comedy, storytelling, crowd-work, celebrity comedy tours — audiences now enjoy live comedy shows in almost every city.
These two categories will continue to dominate the entertainment market for at least the next five years.
2. Different Age Groups, Different Entertainment Choices
Entertainment is no longer the same for everyone. Based on age groups, people are moving towards different types of experiences. Let’s look at how each age segment is shaping the future.
Age Group 50+ : Drama, Culture & Music
People above the age of 50 prefer meaningful and peaceful entertainment. Their trend is moving towards:
- Drama and theatre shows
- Classical music concerts
- Kavi Sammelan & poetry events
- Traditional musical gatherings
- Bhajan sandhya & cultural shows
This group values calm, emotional, and culturally rich experiences. They want comfort, easy ticketing, verified event organisers, and simple entry at venues — all of which Wowsly helps provide.
Age Group 32–50: A Mixed Audience
This is the most diverse and flexible age group. People from 32 to 50 years are open to exploring almost all types of events. Their trends shift based on mood, lifestyle, and interest.
They enjoy:
- Live concerts
- Stand-up comedy
- Travel and adventure events

Events like:
