Bangalore Open Air 2026

Bangalore Open Air is India's premier open-air heavy metal and rock festival, bringing global headliners and the country's most powerful live acts to Bengaluru for a single, unforgettable day. Inspired by the legendary Wacken Open Air, BOA is built by fans, for fans — uncompromising in sound, lineup, and atmosphere. The 2026 edition takes place on 10 October across a sprawling outdoor venue, featuring two stages with back-to-back performances, full-scale production, a curated food court, craft bars, festival merchandise, and a community of metalheads from across India and abroad. Whether you're catching your first festival or your fiftieth, Bangalore Open Air promises a day of bone-rattling riffs, dust, sweat, and shared devotion to the music. Doors open at 1:00 PM. The pit is calling.
