The launch of the brand-new IP, backed by Goa Tourism and supported by the Government of Goa, arrives at a critical juncture for the region. Goa has not seen a major music festival in 2 years, making ‘HOME’ a landmark intervention specifically structured to revive music tourism in the state.
In a major move that signals a paradigm shift for India’s booming live entertainment economy, Team Innovation, the country’s fastest-growing live entertainment conglomerate, has officially announced its new flagship music festival IP: ‘HOME’. The two-day, multi-genre music festival is scheduled to make its highly anticipated debut on December 29th and 30th, 2026, taking over the coastal shores of Vagator, Goa.
The launch of the brand-new IP, backed by Goa Tourism and supported by the Government of Goa, arrives at a critical juncture for the region. Goa has not seen a major music festival in 2 years, making ‘HOME’ a landmark intervention specifically structured to revive music tourism in the state. By stepping in to fill this critical two-year l void, the property aims to breathe new economic life into local tourism, hospitality and subcontinental event infrastructure.
Rather than leaning on international talent to draw crowds, ‘HOME’ is making a bold statement with an all-Indian headline bill.
The debut edition is anchored by a massive dual billing, marking the historic first time ever that the world’s #1 most streamed artist Arijit Singh and global Punjabi trailblazer Karan Aujla will share a single festival lineup and billing together.
Notably, the festival curation resolves significant regional touring hiatuses for both the headliners. The event will officially mark Karan Aujla’s first-ever public ticketed concert in Goa, filling a rare missing piece in the chart-topping artist's touring catalogue. Concurrently, the festival orchestrates a grand homecoming for Arijit Singh, marking his highly anticipated return to the state after a very long time.

Arijit Singh states “Music has its own way of bringing people together and it’s always special to be part of an event that celebrates music in such a way. Looking forward to seeing you all in Goa”
Karan Aujla states “We are currently witnessing a colossal shift in how the world perceives music coming out of India, and headlining a stage as ambitious as ‘HOME’ is exciting! I have enjoyed a great run with Team Innovation and I’m looking forward to performing at their debut music festival in Goa.”
The ambitious venture comes on the heels of a massive wave of momentum for Team Innovation, who have freshly announced Arijit Singh’s 2027 India tour and Darshan Raval 2026 India Tour, and have previously executed record-breaking tours for subcontinental heavyweights including AP Dhillon, Karan Aujla, Krishna Das, Talwiinder and Rishab Rikhiram Sharma amongst others.

Launching at a time when India's live events industry is valued at a staggering ₹20,861 crore, with the ticketed live music segment alone expected to touch ₹1,864 crore, 'HOME' perfectly capitalises on a historic 682% surge in festival frequency across the country
Driven by the tagline, ‘HOME Is Where The Heart Is,’ the debut edition serves as the monumental celebration for the subcontinent’s musical pop titans, boundary-pushing electronic producers and breakout indie acts. In doing so, the property aims to frame the burgeoning Indian music scene as a primary global force while positioning local talent as standard-setting headliners.
The festival boasts a sprawling lineup of over 30 artists. The genre-blurring programming features high-impact sets from commercial heavyweights Jasleen Royal, DJ Chetas and KING, alongside powerful live and electronic showcases from a diverse cohort of indie and next-gen club acts including Aarzu Boys ft. Khan & Noor, Afterall (Habibi Please), Ali Merchant, Banjaare, Jasmin Walia, JXGGI, Mxrci, Garvit Priyansh, Gini, Lijo, and Malavika Manoj. Championing the sound of the underground, the billing also features Pro Bros, Wish, Yung Raja, Aadyaa, Amare, Avneet Music, Dhyan Live, HRX, Mayur Jumani Live, Nitish Wadhwa, PRFCT & Dark, Rohan Mukati, Sazi, and Techtronix.
Visually, the festival grounds will be transformed into a neon-hued wonderland by the acclaimed Aaquib Wani Design, the creative powerhouse behind India's most iconic cultural spaces. Audiences can look forward to high-intensity experiential production and India's largest-ever main stage layout.
The festival is supported by banking partner HSBC and experience partner VISA, and will run daily from 1:00 PM IST to 10:00 PM IST.
Tickets will be available on thumpN and District by Zomato. The exclusive HSBC Visa Credit Card pre-sale will commence from 31st October 2026 2PM IST to 2nd November 2026 1PM IST. General sale will commence from 2nd November 2026 2PM
