Where the gigs happen
Mumbai's live circuit runs from tiny bar stages to full festival grounds. The rooms hosting the most independent music right now, ranked by what's actually on their calendar, are on our live music venues in Mumbai page, updated daily from the ticketing platforms. Start at the smaller rooms, they book newer acts and are where a following is built.
What's on this week
Festivals and touring acts pass through Mumbai constantly, from NH7 and Lollapalooza India to international tours. Our festivals and tours calendar tracks dates, venues and tickets across the city so you can see who's playing and where the audiences are.
Getting heard as a Mumbai artist
Playing out is half of it; the other half is release and press. Get your music to the blogs, playlists and curators who cover the Indian scene through our reviewer database, and follow a real release plan rather than dropping singles into silence. If gigs are the goal, the guide to booking live gigs is built for exactly this city.
Who's rising
Our Radar tracks independent Indian artists gaining momentum, many of them out of Mumbai. It is a good way to see who is breaking and what is connecting right now.
