The Indian live music scene has officially reached a fever pitch this February 2026. After a massive start to the year with the fourth edition of Lollapalooza India in Mumbai, the momentum is only growing. Whether you are a fan of high-octane EDM, stadium rock, or the intimate vibes of indie and jazz, the calendar this month is packed with international heavyweights and homegrown legends. From the dusty dunes of Rajasthan to the sprawling arenas of Bengaluru and Mumbai, here is your definitive guide to the music events you cannot afford to miss.
The Return of the King: DJ Snake’s 2026 India Tour
French EDM powerhouse DJ Snake has a legendary relationship with Indian audiences, and his February 2026 tour is set to be his most ambitious yet. After a slight postponement from late 2025, the “Lean On” hitmaker is bringing his signature pyrotechnics and festival-ready drops to six major cities.
The tour kicked off in early February in Kolkata and Hyderabad, and is now moving into its most anticipated stretch. On February 13, 2026, he will take over Pune, followed by a massive Valentine’s Day show at the Jio World Garden in BKC, Mumbai on February 14. The tour concludes with a high-energy finale at the Leisure Valley Ground in Gurugram on February 15. Given the venue capacity at BKC and the sheer demand, fans are advised to use the Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) to reach the venue early and avoid the inevitable traffic congestion around the Bandra-Kurla Complex.
Bandland 2026: Bengaluru’s Rock Pilgrimage
For those who prefer distorted guitars over digital drops, Bandland 2026 is the place to be. Scheduled for February 14–15, 2026, at the NICE Grounds in Bengaluru, this festival has solidified its reputation as India’s premier destination for rock and alternative music.
The 2026 lineup is arguably its strongest yet, featuring the Indian debut of British stadium-rock titans Muse and the Grammy-winning pop-rock band Train. The NICE Grounds, located near the Nagasandra Metro Station, provides the perfect sprawling backdrop for the mosh pits and high-voltage performances expected this weekend. Local transport in Bengaluru is always a challenge during such massive events, so booking a pre-paid auto or using the metro is highly recommended for those travelling from Indiranagar or Koramangala.
Magnetic Fields Nomads: A New Era in Rajasthan
One of the most significant shifts in the 2026 festival circuit is the transformation of Magnetic Fields. Moving away from its long-time home at Alsisar Mahal, the festival has rebranded as Magnetic Fields Nomads, taking place from February 13–15, 2026, in Khetri, Rajasthan.
This boutique experience remains a sanctuary for underground electronica and avant-garde sounds. The new venue promises a more intimate, nomadic vibe, blending Rajasthan’s rich heritage with cutting-edge audio-visual art. For those travelling from Delhi or Jaipur, the best way to reach Khetri is via a private taxi or a scenic train ride to the nearest station, followed by a local shuttle. This is not just a concert; it is a three-day odyssey that prioritises curation and community over commercial scale.
The “I Am Home” Tour: Sunidhi Chauhan and Bollywood Royalty
On the domestic front, the powerhouse vocalist Sunidhi Chauhan continues her “I Am Home” multi-city tour. On February 21, 2026, she will be performing in Chandigarh, followed by a show at Phoenix Citadel in Indore on February 28. Sunidhi’s live shows have become a cultural phenomenon in India, known for her incredible vocal range and high-energy stage presence that rivals international pop stars.
Simultaneously, the legendary Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are touring with their “Raag-on Tour,” with a major performance scheduled for February 22, 2026, in Hyderabad. If you are looking for a more soulful evening, the Candlelight Concert series is also hosting tributes to A.R. Rahman and Arijit Singh at the Shri Ram Centre for Performing Arts in New Delhi on February 21 and 28. These intimate, candle-lit sessions offer a stark, beautiful contrast to the loud festival arenas.
Indie Gigs and Nightlife Highlights
The indie scene is flourishing this month with local venues like The Piano Man Jazz Club in Delhi and antiSOCIAL in Mumbai and Bengaluru hosting nightly gigs. Thermal and a Quarter are celebrating 30 years of rock with a special performance in Delhi on February 20, while jazz enthusiasts can catch the Tazim Sheikh Collective at The Piano Man throughout the week.
If you are in Goa, the Goa Carnival (February 13–17, 2026) is currently in full swing. While primarily a cultural parade, the streets of Panaji and Margao are alive with live music, brass bands, and impromptu beach gigs that capture the true spirit of the coastal state during the February peak season.
Planning Your Visit: Tickets and Transport
Most major tickets for these events are available on BookMyShow and Paytm Insider. For stadium-sized events like DJ Snake or Bandland, ensure you have your digital m-ticket ready to avoid queues at the box office.
Mumbai: Use the Metro or local trains to avoid the Western Express Highway bottlenecks.
Delhi NCR: The Yellow Line and Rapid Metro remain the most reliable ways to reach Gurugram venues.
Bengaluru: The Green Line extension makes NICE Grounds much more accessible than in previous years.
February 2026 is proving that India is no longer just a stop on a world tour—it is a global destination for live music. Whether you are headbanging in Bengaluru or watching the sunrise in Rajasthan, make sure you are part of the rhythm this month.
