Although Bengaluru has been a consistent platform for the band, the question is, could the increasing linguistic chest thumping in Karnataka put a crick in Thaikkudam Bridge's setlist for the upcoming festival?
Guitarist Ashok Betty Nelson agreed that there have been a couple of instances where people got offended when they did not sing in certain languages or sing less of certain languages.
He recalled the gig that they did during the G20 summit in Bengaluru in July 2023, when some young people in the audience insisted that they play Kannada songs.
"We were briefed by the organisers to keep the concert linguistically as diverse as possible.
So we were singing in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi and, of course, Kannada. But two Kannada songs were not good enough for some in the audience who were creating a ruckus," said Nelson to PTI.
