Martin Garrix’s 2027 India tour is built around the country’s Holi festival

Dutch EDM producer and DJ Martin Garrix is set to return to India in 2027 for what promises to be his most expansive tour in the country to date. The upcoming series of concerts will span ten cities, strategically scheduled to coincide with the vibrant Holi festival, a cultural event celebrated nationwide.

Garrix’s tour will commence on March 10 in Ahmedabad and proceed through cities including Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Bengaluru, Shillong, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Mumbai, culminating in Pune on March 22, the day of Holi. Notably, this itinerary marks his inaugural performances in Bhubaneswar and Shillong, expanding his footprint to regions he has not previously toured within India.

This tour continues Garrix’s enduring partnership with Sunburn Arena, an initiative managed by the organizers of the prominent Sunburn Festival. His connection with Sunburn dates back several years, having headlined their flagship events in Goa (2015, 2019) and Pune (2017). Sunburn also orchestrated his last multi-city Indian tour in March 2023, which included nine shows across eight cities and reportedly achieved record-breaking ticket sales and attendance figures for live music events in India.

In 2023, the tour attracted approximately 105,000 ticket buyers and an estimated 150,000 people attending across venues. For 2027, Garrix aims to surpass these numbers, targeting a cumulative audience close to 200,000. His consistent presence in the Indian music scene over the past decade has established him as one of the few international EDM artists to maintain annual performances in the country since his debut single "Animals" in 2013.

Over the years, Garrix has cultivated a unique connection with the Indian audience, extending beyond typical international artist engagements. His approach includes integrating culturally significant events like Holi into his tour schedule and collaborating with prominent Indian musicians, such as his 2025 singles with Bollywood singer Arijit Singh.

His 2027 tour is particularly notable for its alignment with Holi, a festival characterized by vibrant colors, music, and communal celebration. This alignment suggests a thoughtful engagement with local culture, offering fans an immersive experience that blends electronic music with traditional festivities.

Throughout his career, Garrix’s sustained visits have contributed to the growth of the EDM scene in India, a market that has shown increasing enthusiasm for electronic music festivals and live performances. The scale of his upcoming tour indicates both his personal commitment to Indian fans and the expanding commercial viability of electronic dance music within the region.

Details about ticketing, production specifics, and supporting acts for the 2027 tour have yet to be fully disclosed, leaving some aspects of the event to be confirmed closer to the dates. Nevertheless, this announcement reaffirms Martin Garrix’s position as a major international EDM figure with a dedicated fanbase in India, underlining the country’s importance in his touring strategy.
