2026 has had its share of concert cancellations, but India's live music calendar is gearing up for a packed final quarter. From Diljit Dosanjh and Fred Again.. to Anyma, Alesso and a string of major music festivals, October through December promises a diverse run of live music across genres. Here's what to have on your radar before the year comes to a close.
For Diljit Dosanjh, the next leg of AURA brings the tour back to the country that shaped his sound, this time across a wider stretch of India. Following the announcement of his November 21 show at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, the RuPay Aura India Tour 2026 will travel to Delhi-NCR, Indore, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Lucknow between October and December, with Chandigarh also on the schedule. Co-produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live and Live Nation, the tour follows a global run that has included a headline performance at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Following Keinemusik’s sold-out Mumbai debut in March, Adam Port is returning to India for a three-city tour this November. The Berlin-based DJ and producer moves between house, techno, dancehall and soul, with a groove-led approach that resists being confined to a single genre. As part of Keinemusik, the collective he co-founded in Berlin in 2009 with &ME, Rampa, Reznik and Monja Gentschow, he has helped shape a distinct corner of contemporary electronic music. His profile grew further in 2024 with “Move”, made with Stryv and featuring Malachiii, which became a global club and streaming hit.

Anyma’s live productions have taken electronic music from the dance floor to some of the world’s most ambitious performance spaces. After a landmark residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere and a show staged against Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza, the Italian-American DJ and producer is bringing his latest audiovisual production, ÆDEN, to India for the first time.
Born Matteo Milleri, Anyma first established himself as one half of Tale of Us, before launching his solo project in 2021. Through Anyma, Milleri has developed a distinct identity that extends beyond music production, pairing melodic techno with digitally rendered worlds and visual narratives that blur the relationship between humanity, nature and technology. His Genesys trilogy, comprising Genesys (2023), Genesys II (2024) and The End of Genesys (2025), has helped shape this distinct audiovisual universe. ÆDEN takes these ideas forward, drawing on science-fiction aesthetics and ancient mythology while introducing new characters and perspectives.
Date: November 21, 2026
Venue: Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Mumbai
More than a decade into a career that has helped shape the sound of festival-stage progressive house, Alesso is set to make his first solo headline tour of India this November. Alesso’s catalogue is closely tied to the rise of progressive house in the early 2010s, when tracks such as Calling (Lose My Mind) and Heroes (We Could Be) became fixtures at festivals around the world. His collaboration with Calvin Harris on Under Control further cemented his crossover appeal, bridging the festival circuit and mainstream pop. The upcoming dates offer Indian audiences a chance to experience the producer’s catalogue live, from the anthems that established his name to a career shaped by collaborations across electronic music and pop.
An early association with Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso helped shape his trajectory, and he has since become a GRAMMY-nominated artist with platinum and multi-platinum records to his name.
November 27: Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru, Bengaluru
November 28: HUDA Gymkhana Club, Gurugram (Delhi NCR)
Motorcycles may be at the heart of Motoverse, but Royal Enfield’s annual gathering has become as much about the music, art and culture surrounding them. Returning to Vagator, Goa, from November 27 to 29, the three-day festival, formerly known as Rider Mania, brings together the motorcycling community for a weekend that extends well beyond the road. Last year, it recorded more than 40,000 footfalls.
The 2026 edition’s music programme features Farhan Akhtar, Sanjith Hegde, Lifafa, REBLE, MHR & Friends and The Think Floydian, alongside independent acts across two stages. The wider programme spans dirt-track racing, drift schools, motorcycle stunt displays, art installations and creative workshops, with curated rides and a marketplace featuring more than 100 motorcycling and lifestyle brands rounding out the experience. A retro, 16-bit-inspired aesthetic sets the tone for this year’s edition.
Dates: November 27–29, 2026
Venue: Vagator, Goa

Few international acts have generated as much anticipation around an India debut this year as Fred again... Before the British producer and DJ confirmed his December tour, cryptic front-page advertisements reading “again..” appeared in Bombay Times, Delhi Times and Bangalore Times, setting off speculation among fans about an India visit. A subsequent Instagram post from the artist, featuring a glimpse of Bengaluru, only added to the conversation. When the dates were finally announced, the response was swift: the original three shows sold out, prompting the addition of two more dates in Mumbai and Bengaluru. What began as a closely followed rumour has become a five-show run across three cities. The tour marks Fred again..’s first performances in India and his only announced live shows of 2026.
The tour has also drawn attention for its pricing. In a statement about bringing the show to India, Fred again.. said the team was able to offer tickets at ₹1,750 and ₹3,500 while still bringing the full live production to a country he had never performed in before. At a time when tickets for major international acts can run into several thousands of rupees, the prices stand out as a significant move towards making a globally touring electronic show accessible to a wider Indian audience.
December 5: Leisure Valley Ground, Delhi-NCR
December 8 and 9: Mahalaxmi Race Course, Mumbai
December 12 and 13: NICE Grounds, Bengaluru
