Echoes of Earth 2026: 5–6 December, Bengaluru

Echoes of Earth returns to Bengaluru on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December 2026, according to the festival's official website, for what is its tenth edition. The venue and the line-up had not been announced at the time of writing; previous editions have been held on the grounds of the Embassy International Riding School in north Bengaluru, off the airport road. Started in 2016 by Swordfish Events & Entertainment, the festival is known as much for how it is built as for who plays: stages and art installations are made from recycled and upcycled material, parts of the site run on solar power, single-use plastic is kept out and drinking water is free from refill stations. The music runs across electronic, indie, jazz, folk and world music over several stages; the 2025 edition, themed "The Sixth Sense", featured Stavroz, Monolink, Harvey Sutherland and Bedouin. Expect two long days outdoors. Tickets are sold through District. There is no metro anywhere near the festival's usual site, so transport needs planning.
