1 Black Eyed Peas. Fergie left in 2018. The band replaced her with J. Rey Soul. The recipe isn't working so well for the Peas. But the gigs are still high on energy and all those sing-along anthems (Let's get It Started, Where Is the Love?) And Willi.i.am is on fire with his rap. The group tours Japan at the end of January. They play Serbia in July. Serbia. Surely, India has enough fans for a Peas party?
2 Britney Spears. The OG '90s popstar first performed as an opening act for NSYNC before she debuted solo in 1999, with the ...Baby One More Time Tour. Plus Britney: Piece of Me, the Las Vegas residency she launched in 2013 literally jumpstarted the pop-gig scene in LA. A Britney show means tough choreography, stunts and lyrics we know. So why not?
3 Beyoncé.
She performed in India in 2018. But that was at Isha Ambani's wedding. On her epic Renaissance Tour, Bey got fans to dress in silver to match the visual theme. At gigs, there's an unofficial competition when she performs Energy. Fans try to stay silent before the words "Big energy!" Some manage it too. If gigs are delayed, as one was in Washington DC, Bey even pays the Metro service to ply longer so women reach home safe.
