Circus Announces 2026 Edition In Bengaluru & Hyderabad Featuring Mochakk, Boris Brejcha, I Hate Models & More
28 October 2026
Circus has announced its December 2026 editions in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, along with their lineup.
The former city will host a 2-day outdoor festival at Terraform Arena on December 18 and 19. The line-up features 7 international headliners across the 2 days, including Hugel, Boris Brejcha, Brazilian DJ and producer Mochakk, French artist I Hate Models and Yousef, alongside LI/LU. Brejcha, who recently announced his retirement, will deliver one of his final live performances in India.
Known for sets spanning house, hip-hop and Latin rhythms, Mochakk joins a bill that brings together artists from across the international club circuit. Yousef, meanwhile, is the Liverpool-based DJ and producer who founded Circus, which has grown from an intimate club night in Liverpool more than 2 decades ago into a giant institution in international music culture.
Hyderabad will see a different format, with Circus taking over multiple venues across three weekends from December 12 to 27. The city-wide programme will unfold across several nightlife destinations, with its line-up and further details expected to be announced next week.
Artists like GNDHI and Answer, along with collective Dynamite Disco Club, will represent the homegrown talent on the lineup.
Presented by Sound Simplify in partnership with Bengaluru-based nightlife destination Cavore Outdoors and live events platform Xora World, the 2-city programme follows editions that drew more than 25,000 attendees in 2025 with artists like Ben Böhmer and WhoMadeWho.
Sound Simplify founder Mohit Agarwal adds: "Every year the crowds at Circus in India have grown, and this December we wanted to give both cities something bigger than a single night."
Tickets will be available through ticketing partner ThumpN. For further updates, follow Circus India or Sound Simplify. Get a taste of what to expect through Mochakk's Coachella set below:
