Global music sensation DJ Snake is set to make a thrilling return to India later this year with an expansive six-city tour as part of the Sunburn Arena concert series. The Grammy-nominated French producer and DJ, known for chart-topping tracks like Turn Down for What, Lean On, and Taki Taki, will kick off his highly anticipated tour in Kolkata on September 26, 2025. This marks the third time the globally acclaimed artist will be performing in the country, a place he has repeatedly described as one of the most passionate and energetic destinations on his global map.
The tour will see DJ Snake, born William Grigahcine, making his way through some of India’s most vibrant cities. After launching in Kolkata, the electronic music maestro will travel to Hyderabad on September 27, Bengaluru on September 28, Pune on October 3, Mumbai on October 4, and finally conclude the grand journey in the Delhi-NCR region on October 5. With each city known for its distinct energy and deep-rooted love for dance music, the tour is expected to draw massive crowds of devoted fans. Tickets for the event go live exclusively on BookMyShow starting July 26, with organisers promising a musical experience bigger, louder, and more immersive than any of DJ Snake’s previous India appearances.
A key part of the Sunburn Arena calendar, DJ Snake’s return is being viewed as one of the biggest live music events of the year. His history with Indian audiences is nothing short of iconic. During his previous tours, he played to packed venues with thousands of fans singing along to every beat, their enthusiasm often outmatching that seen anywhere else in the world. “The passion and the love in India — it all hits different,” said DJ Snake in a statement announcing the tour. “I still remember the energy during my last visit with thousands of voices singing every word back to me; it was pure madness! It’s the way the crowd gives everything they’ve got. Every time I come back, that connection feels so deep. See you soon India!”
This tour announcement also comes at a pivotal time in DJ Snake’s career, with the upcoming release of his album Nomad scheduled for September 2025. The album has already begun generating considerable buzz within the global music community and is expected to showcase a range of new sonic explorations from the artist. Known for pushing boundaries in EDM and seamlessly blending genres, DJ Snake’s influence can be felt across pop, hip-hop, Latin, and world music. His past collaborations with global icons such as Justin Bieber, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, Lil Jon, and Major Lazer have transformed him into a cultural force beyond the realm of electronic music.
Earlier this year, DJ Snake made headlines by selling over 100,000 tickets in just minutes for his monumental show at France’s Stade de France, one of Europe’s largest stadiums. This was followed by a record-breaking afterparty at Accor Arena, further solidifying his status as one of the most in-demand live performers on the planet. His ability to attract audiences at such scale is a testament to his enduring popularity and unmatched stage presence.
India has long held a special place in DJ Snake’s heart. From visiting temples and local markets to engaging with fans and artists alike, he’s often spoken about the spiritual and emotional connection he feels with the country. His performances go beyond music—they become a celebration of culture, rhythm, and collective energy. As anticipation builds for the Sunburn Arena tour, fans across the country are gearing up for a musical spectacle unlike any other.
With his return promising stunning visuals, powerhouse collaborations, and heart-thumping beats, DJ Snake’s six-city tour is poised to be one of the standout musical events of 2025. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to his genre-defying sound, this is one show that promises to leave an indelible mark on India’s live music scene.
