He even brought his Manequin challenge to the concert and fans willingly participated. However, the most exciting part of the performance that got the loudest cheers was his surprise his announcement of new music coming up in January.

Wiz Khalifa's act was a roller-coaster of emotions. He had the audience grooving to hits like Young Wild and Free and We Dem Boyz. He ended his set on an emotional note, dedicating See You Again to all the artistes who passed away recently, as their names and photos flashed on the screen.

The night ended with British rapper Central Cee belting out hits like Truth in the Lies, who entered wearing a T-shirt with Lord Shiva's image, teamed with a green beanie and a chunky necklace.

Meanwhile, a video of Central Cee playing cricket in Mumbai just before his performance where he was seen batting alongside several members of his team went viral. What also went viral was a video of attendees getting into a scuffle right in between the festival.
