Though he had his helmet on throughout the performance and kept his identity a secret, he did encourage the crowd "to make some noise".
After his last song, Happier, he thanked the audience by saying: "Thank you guys so much for making it so special. I'll see you next time."
The festival also had artistes like Jaden Smith, Bonobo, Anik Khan, Prateek Kuhad, Rudimental and Two Door Cinema Club.
Earlier, Marshmello expressed his love towards India. He spoke to Indian Express saying, “India is so special to me. This is my third time here and I love it, even more, each time I come back. That’s why I wanted to make this trip even more special and give my fans here their own anthem. It was great to work with Pritam over the last few months and give the Mellogang Biba.”
