Turn It Up, Mumbai! 2026’s Can’t-Miss Music Weekenders You Need on Your Radar

Mumbai tune in – this January, let the city sing!

Here’s the pocket-size concert Bible you can actually brag about booking before the month even warms up. From K-pop heaven to guitar-god bliss – and yes, my yearly Lolla pilgrimage – every ticket lives on BookMyShow. Grab your squad, grab your passes, and let’s make January sound-tracked for life.

 Savvy’s “Hear-It-First” Line-Up (all tickets on BookMyShow)

Jung Kook – GOLDEN: The Moments Exhibition

Step inside JK’s diary: exclusive memorabilia, AR booths, life-size photocard walls and interactive zones that trace his solo journey from Busan to global stages. Why this gig matters: even casual ARMY will leave glitter-coated, and the pop-up merch bar is stocked with limited-edition photocards you literally can’t cop online—perfect excuse to treat the inner fangirl/fanboy.

John Mayer Live

Seven GRAMMYs, one Mumbai night. Expect silky guitar solos, extended jams and surprise blues detours under the Race-course sky. Why this gig matters: Mayer is famous for two-hour sound-checks—camp outside the barricades and you’ll snag a private serenade of “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” at sunset. Guitar academia live; you’ll learn more in one evening than any YouTube tutorial.

Lollapalooza India 2026

Music lovers and festival-goers, mark your calendars! Lollapalooza is making a fiery return for its fourth edition on January 24–25, 2026, at the iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse. Over 20 hours of live music across four stages, bespoke food villages and eco-initiatives packed into one weekend. Why this gig matters:

• Linkin Park – their first-ever India gig (bring the tissues, we’re teenagers again).
• Playboi Carti – trap-meets-punk chaos; mosh shoes essential.
• Kehlani – silky R&B that’ll have the sunset stage swaying.
• YUNGBLUD, LANY, Fujii Kaze, Mother Mother, Calum Scott, Knock2 – pop, indie, J-pop and electronic sprinkles.
  Local talent roster drops soon—expect Bloodywood, Karsh Kale and fresh home-grown heroes to round out the multi-stage madness. Cultural moment + memory in the making, whether it’s your first Lolla or your fourth.

My Concert Pact

I’ve added “catch at least one new-gen act I’ve never heard before” to my Mumbai Manifesto. Come tag along, discover your next playlist crush, and once the amps cool and the echoes fade, swing by the comments —and tell me which chorus still lives in your head.

Ready to lock the dates? Choose your poison, circle the calendar and let’s clink paper-cup beers in the Racecourse breeze. See you side-stage, Mumbai!
