Sunburn Festival 2026 Lineup: Two Days At Mahalaxmi Race Course
Nucleya, Sofi Tukker and NERVO join more than 50 acts under The Chainsmokers, Jason Derulo, DJ Snake and Sebastian Ingrosso for 18 and 19 December.
Sunburn has filled in the rest of its December poster. More than 50 acts now sit below the four headliners for the festival's 19th edition at Mahalaxmi Race Course, with Nucleya, Sofi Tukker, NERVO and Laidback Luke among the names released this week.
The top of the bill was already out. The Chainsmokers and Jason Derulo play on 18 December, and DJ Snake and Sebastian Ingrosso on 19 December.
The new names
The second tier, listed in alphabetical order on the official poster, is Acraze, Emma Heesters, Laidback Luke, NERVO, Nucleya, Ookay and Sofi Tukker. Next come 19:26, Annabel Stop It, Barts, Citizen Kain, Crusy, Gigi, Laura van Dam, Sparrow, Tori Levett and Vanco.
The bottom rows are mostly homegrown. Aatma, Akhlad Ahmed, Almost Human, DJ Ganesh, Kshitij, Lady Barot, Sartek, Thugnaari and UD-T are among them. There are three back-to-back pairings: Benz with Anik, Naairo with Viishvek and Seawave with Skysync. MC Haits hosts, and the festival says more acts will follow.
Derulo is the odd one out on a bill of DJs and producers. He is a pop singer, known for "Whatcha Say" and "Savage Love".
Two days at the race course
The venue and dates were announced in May, along with a tighter format. Sunburn now runs over two days at the race course, with a closing party at NSCI Dome in Worli on 20 December. The organisers point to the ground's history with the brand: Avicii played there in 2011, Swedish House Mafia in 2013 and Martin Garrix in 2016.

"As we enter our 19th edition, every decision, from moving to a venue like Mahalaxmi Racecourse to reimagining the festival format, has been made with a clear focus on enhancing how fans experience the festival," Sunburn CEO Karan Singh said at the time.
This year's theme is "Awaken the Core". In the same announcement, Sunburn cited a survey of last year's attendees in which close to half said they had travelled in from outside Mumbai.
