Mumbai is set to host the second edition of India International Music Week (IIMW) from 10–12 February 2026, bringing together emerging artists, industry leaders, and music professionals from over 30 countries. The festival, a first-of-its-kind international music conference and showcase, focuses on discovery, trade, and cultural exchange.
The 2026 line-up features more than 20 artists spanning genres from electronic, alt-rock, and psychedelic to soul, jazz, and art-pop. International acts include Italy’s electronic producer Agenda Dei Buoni Propositi, Spain’s alt-rock band BELAKO, Indonesia’s psychedelic rock group Clever Moose, Canada’s Edwin Raphael and Jasmine Kiara, Norway/Faroe Islands’ art-pop band GiFU, and Germany/Australia’s electronic R&B artist Milan Ring. Indian artists on the bill include Easy Wanderlings, Jeremiah de Rozario, PANELIA, the Tamil Jazz Collective, Tejas, Ro Maiti, Neel Adhikari, and Two Summ.
The showcase festival will take place over two evenings at antiSOCIAL and Epitome in Lower Parel, offering audiences an opportunity to experience emerging music from India and around the world.
Running alongside the live performances is IIMW Pro, the conference segment hosted at the Museum of Solutions (MuSo). The two-day programme features panel discussions, workshops, networking sessions, and B2B meetings with music industry leaders, addressing topics such as emerging market strategies, AI and royalties, festival models, and fan engagement in India’s growing music scene.
“IIMW was created to place India firmly in the global music conversation. This edition reflects the ambition and cultural confidence of a music ecosystem that has finally come into its own,” said Sushil Chhugani, Director at India Music Exchange.
The event will see participation from a wide range of Indian and international companies, including Live Nation, AEG Live, British Council, EMPIRE, Merlin, Rolling Stone, YouTube, Zee Live, and more.
