Commenting on the 2026 India lineup, Matt Zingler, Co-Founder and CEO, Rolling Loud, said,“One thing that really stood out to us in India was how open the fans were to everything. If the music connects, they show up for it. That’s influenced how we’ve approached this year’s lineup – bringing international and Indian artists together across both days and making it feel like one festival, not two different worlds.” Rahul Ganjoo, CEO, District, said, “Walk into a cypher in Delhi or a small gig in Mumbai and you will see who people actually turn up for. And it is rarely the same list of artists you’d see on social media. Hip-hop in India has always moved through cyphers, small shows, and people putting each other on, and that’s where we looked when we built this year’s bill. At the first edition, the crowd didn’t thin out between the international sets and the Indian ones, and that told us the audience was already a step ahead of the industry. This line up is built on what we saw.” Enjoy the flexibility of booking your tickets with District’s Reserve Now, Pay Later feature.
