Events are listed in no particular order. We recommend checking AllEvents for final timings and ticket availability before heading out.
What it is: The voice behind a thousand Bollywood romances takes the stage for an evening of pure '90s nostalgia. Kumar Sanu — the man who defined an entire generation's idea of love through songs like "Tujhe Dekha Toh," "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha," and "Aankhon Mein Teri" — performs live at Mumbai's legendary Shanmukhananda Hall. This is playback singing at its finest, from an artist who holds the record for most Filmfare Awards in his category.
Why go: Because there's no autotune, no gimmicks — just one of the greatest voices Indian cinema has ever produced, singing the songs that probably soundtracked your parents' love story (and maybe yours too). The acoustic perfection of Shanmukhananda Hall only amplifies the magic. If you've ever found yourself humming a Kumar Sanu song in the shower, this is your pilgrimage.
Who it's for: Bollywood music lovers, 90s kids at heart, anyone who believes romance peaked in the Yash Chopra era.
When: Saturday, February 21, 2026 | 7:00 PM | Shanmukhananda Hall, Sion
What it is: Twenty-four hours after Kumar Sanu's velvet crooning, the same stage transforms into a high-octane powerhouse as Sukhwinder Singh delivers his fourth consecutive annual performance at Shanmukhananda Hall. Known for belting out anthems like "Chaiyya Chaiyya," "Jai Ho," and "Haule Haule," Sukhwinder brings raw energy that's impossible to sit still through. This man doesn't just sing — he erupts.
Why go: The contrast with the previous night couldn't be more perfect. Where Kumar Sanu is silk, Sukhwinder is fire. His live performances are legendary for their intensity, and the fact that Mumbai keeps bringing him back year after year tells you everything. When he hits those high notes on "Jai Ho," the entire hall feels it in their bones.
Who it's for: Fans of high-energy Bollywood music, anyone who needs their weekend to end on an adrenaline rush.
When: Sunday, February 22, 2026 | 7:00 PM | Shanmukhananda Hall, Sion
What it is: The Danish soft-rock band that dominated Asian airwaves in the '90s returns to India after 25 years. Michael Learns to Rock (MLTR) — responsible for wedding playlist staples like "Take Me to Your Heart," "That's Why You Go Away," and "25 Minutes" — brings their Take Us to Your Heart Tour to Mumbai's MMRDA Ground. This is a full-scale outdoor concert celebrating decades of ballads that defined a generation.
Why go: Because "Take Me to Your Heart" has been stuck in your head since 1995 and you deserve closure. MLTR's return after a quarter-century is a genuine event — they've maintained a cult following across Asia, and this tour is their gift to fans who grew up slow-dancing to their songs at school socials. The outdoor venue means room to breathe (and sway).
Who it's for: 90s nostalgia enthusiasts, soft-rock devotees, couples who bonded over MLTR ballads.
When: Saturday, February 21, 2026 | 6:00 PM | MMRDA Ground, BKC
What it is: Asia's largest spoken word festival returns for its milestone 10th edition, taking over Jio World Garden for two full days of stories, poetry, music, comedy, and performance art. Organized by Kommuneity, Spoken Fest brings together 75+ artists across 4 stages, celebrating the power of the spoken word in all its forms. It's part TED Talk, part open mic, part block party — with food stalls and a flea market thrown in.
Why go: Because there's nothing quite like watching someone pour their heart out through poetry while you're standing in a garden at sunset. Spoken Fest has become a cultural institution, platforming both established voices and emerging talent. The 10th edition promises to be their biggest yet, and the BKC venue gives it that festival-in-the-city energy that Mumbai does so well.

Why go: This is world-class Western classical music performed by India's only professional symphony orchestra, in one of Mumbai's finest concert halls.

Known for his relatable observations about middle-class Indian life, family dynamics, and the art of not taking yourself too seriously, Ravi delivers sharp, clean comedy that connects across generations.
Why go: Because sometimes the best therapy is laughing at your own life choices while 500 strangers do the same.

Why go: Poetry performances can feel either too academic or too slam-y, but Kanha occupies a middle ground that's genuinely moving.
