Feb 09 : Sunburn Holi Weekend has long been synonymous with music, colour and celebration for EDM fans across India. This festive season, EDM prodigy KSHMR takes centre stage, splashing his signature sound across a five-city tour, produced and promoted by Sunburn, Asia’s Premier Electronic Dance Music (EDM) platform.
Sunburn Holi Weekend 2026 ft. KSHMR will kick off in Mumbai on March 3rd, 2026, featuring a special performance by DJ Chetas, followed by Chennai on March 4th, 2026, Bengaluru on March 6th, 2026, Bhubaneswar on March 7th, 2026 and Hyderabad on March 8th, 2026. The tour marks a significant milestone with KSHMR making his debut performance in Bhubaneswar, bringing his globally acclaimed experience to the city for the very first time. Tickets are available exclusively on BookMyShow, India’s leading entertainment destination.
Niles Hollowell-Dhar, better known as KSHMR, rose from producing hip-hop and pop hits, including anthems ‘Like A G6’, to becoming one of dance music’s most celebrated figures with chart-topping tracks including ‘Secrets’ with Tiësto and ‘Kids’ featuring MKLA. His hits also include ‘Bad’, ‘My Best Life’ and ‘Power’. With 10 Beatport #1s, DJ Mag’s Best Live Act award, his own Dharma Worldwide label and the influential Sounds of KSHMR packs, KSHMR continues to shape global music and headline the world’s biggest stages.
A long-standing favourite with fans in India, KSHMR’s association with Sunburn runs deep, also creating the Sunburn Festival 2024 anthem with OTIOT ft. KEL titled ‘Khoye Yahaan’. He has played a defining role in shaping the evolution of electronic music culture in India. His shows are known for their immersive storytelling, emotional depth and cinematic scale, transforming stages into experiences that go far beyond music.
Talking about the Sunburn Holi Weekend, KSHMR commented,
“India has shaped my music in more ways than people realise, so coming for Sunburn Holi Weekend feels especially full-circle. Holi is a festival that celebrates colour, rhythm and shared emotion – the same elements that run through my sound. Taking this experience across five cities allows me to express that connection more deeply and I’m excited to celebrate this with fans through my music.”
Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn, added,
“Over the years, Sunburn Holi Weekend has evolved into a marker on the cultural calendar for music lovers across India – a time when audiences come together to celebrate sound, colour and shared experiences. 2026 is no different and bringing KSHMR into this moment feels especially organic. His music carries a rare balance of global electronic sensibilities and deeply rooted Indian influences, making him a natural fit for a festival as expressive and spirited as Holi. This five-city tour reflects both the scale of anticipation around Sunburn Holi Weekend and our continued intent to take meaningful, world-class electronic music experiences to audiences across the country. It is these thoughtfully curated moments, where music, culture and emotion intersect, that continue to define what Sunburn stands for.”
KSHMR stands apart as an artist who bridges worlds. A former member of the pop-EDM duo The Cataracs, he broke out as a solo artist in 2014 and rapidly became a global festival mainstay. As the founder of Dharma Worldwide, a sub-label under Spinnin’ Records, he has not only built a distinctive sonic universe for himself but has also championed a new generation of artists worldwide. Regularly ranked among the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs, KSHMR continues to command global stages including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival.
In India, his influence runs even deeper. KSHMR has consistently incorporated Indian sounds, themes and narratives into his music, forging an emotional connection with fans across generations. His collaborations with renowned Indian artists such as DIVINE and Raja Kumari have further cemented his place in the country’s contemporary music landscape, making each of his performances feel both global in scale and deeply personal in spirit.
Known for his deep-rooted connection with Indian audiences and a sound that seamlessly blends cinematic orchestration, big-room EDM and Indian classical influences, KSHMR’s return promises a powerful celebration of music, culture and colour.
