The Chandigarh administration is setting up a trial concert facility at Sarangpur, aiming to resolve venue constraints that have led to the relocation of major events to neighboring cities. Initially, 8–10 acres of land will be utilized to host events accommodating 5,000–8,000 attendees, with the first event anticipated within the next two months. The long-term vision includes a permanent concert and exhibition hub capable of hosting up to 20,000 people. Basic infrastructure, such as mobile washrooms and parking areas, is being established to facilitate the trial phase. This initiative is part of a broader 25-acre project designed to attract national and international events back to Chandigarh, following complaints about traffic and noise disruptions from previous concerts in central sectors. The Sarangpur site was chosen for its open space, which should alleviate congestion issues experienced in more populated areas.
