Mumbai is gearing up for one of its biggest electronic music takeovers with Circus Festival 2025 landing at the Dome from December 26 to 29. Built for Mumbai and shaped by the city’s chaos, culture, and unstoppable electronic heartbeat, this edition feels like a major moment for India’s festival scene.
Circus has earned its reputation for house and techno around the world but once we bring that scale of production and talent into Mumbai, it is a festival that feels like something is created from the very roots of the city. The energy, the crowds at nighttime, the pulse of Mumbai amplifies it.
This year’s line-up is staggering. Festival-goers are going to experience a proper international feel from headliners Hugel, Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex, Monolink, Klangkuenstler, I Hate Models, Special Request and festival co-founder and driving force Yousef. Each of these artists can draw from a deep catalog of music which covers each and every shade of house and tech house, melodic to hard techno to create a festival that is appealing to a wide-ranging audience of electronic music fans.
For over two decades, Circus has been globally shaping dance culture while featuring some heavy hitters from all over the world. Their interest in putting this level of talent into Mumbai is an amazing opportunity for fans to have the festival experience on this scale without leaving the country.
Adding to the excitement is the team behind this edition. The collaboration between Circus and Indian partners such as Rockage Entertainment, YPD Live, and Xora brings a strong local backbone to the festival. Their involvement not only grounds the event in Mumbai but also elevates it, blending global expertise with homegrown passion and festival-building experience.
The festival not only has a global lineup; it is also showcasing the rising electronic scene in India. The national lineup features Ankytrixx, ANSWER, Midnight Traffic, Kollision, Film, Kayvee, Reyhaa, Siren 333, Blurry Slur, Blithe, Realmm and additional artists to be revealed, demonstrating an onus on supporting homegrown talent.
The production this year brings something fresh to the table. The main stage build draws inspiration from a chronoform concept, and combines an industrial aesthetic, lighting, and structure to create visual immersion without relying on LED screens. Combined with a 360° L-Acoustics sound system built specifically for the venue, guests are promised loud and crystal-clear sound throughout the Dome.
Tickets are being offered in different levels such as General Access, Fanpit, and VVIP Lounge depending on the type of experience you want.
