Indian music legend A.R. Rahman's upcoming concert in Australia will be officially "vehicle free," the Times of India reports. Officials operating the January 16th concert in Sydney said they'd anticipated a huge turnout for the show--upwards of 70,000--and feared that the volume of concertgoers would create traffic jams and other logistical nightmares. They decided, then, to ban cars from the event all together, a first for any Australian concert. The motives may be more pragmatic than environmental, but at the very least, the move speaks to Rahman's growing popularity, and increasing fanbase across the globe. [From: Times of India]
