Global EDM heavyweight and Grammy-winning DJ Tiësto is set to ignite India once again with a spectacular three-city tour in January 2026, marking his return to the country after almost ten years. The Dutch musician, who has long held a deep connection with Indian audiences, will perform in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata in what promises to be one of the biggest electronic music events of the year. Tiësto expressed his excitement about returning, sharing that India has always been one of his favorite places to perform thanks to the unmatched energy and passion of the fans.

His history with India stretches back to 2008, when he first performed at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad during his Elements of Life world tour. He returned in 2013 for a three-city run across Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi, describing the Indian audience as one of the most enthusiastic and responsive in the world. Over the years, he has often spoken about the infectious vibe of the country and the thriving dance-music culture that continues to evolve with every passing year.

Now, more than a decade since his last multi-city visit, Tiësto is preparing to bring an elevated experience to Indian fans—one that blends his iconic trance legacy with the cutting-edge electronic house sound that continues to define global festival stages today. The 2026 tour is expected to deliver high-voltage performances infused with powerful production, mesmerizing visuals and the contagious energy that has made him a true global icon. For loyal fans and first-time listeners alike, this tour is shaping up to be much more than a set of concerts; it stands as a celebration of India’s vibrant EDM landscape and the longstanding bond between Tiësto and his ever-growing Indian fanbase.
