Iconic music festival set for nostalgic three-day celebration
February 10, 2026: India’s popular live music festival, ICONiQ White NH7 Weekender, is returning to Pune in 2026, marking a nostalgic homecoming for the event. Organised by NODWIN Gaming, the festival will be held from March 13 to March 15 at Mahalakshmi Lawns. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and genre-diverse performances, NH7 Weekender has built a strong cultural identity over the years. With ICONiQ White as the title sponsor, the upcoming edition aims to blend nostalgia, community bonding, and immersive live entertainment.
The 2026 lineup promises a mix of indie, folk, and hip-hop artists, including Prateek Kuhad, Talwiinder, Aditya Gadhvi, KING, Aditya Rikhari, Faheem Abdullah, Indian Ocean, and Nucleya & Friends, along with a special collaboration by Raftaar and Kr$na. Organisers have also confirmed the return of stand-up comedy acts, though the final lineup is yet to be announced. Ticket sales are set to open for the public on February 13, 2026, following an exclusive Mastercard presale.
Festival organisers said Pune holds emotional significance as one of NH7 Weekender’s original hubs. This year’s theme focuses on nostalgia, encouraging audiences to reconnect with live experiences beyond digital spaces. Ahead of the festival, the “Road to Weekender” campaign will feature interactive events and community activities across Pune and Mumbai. Tickets are available through the District by Zomato app, the festival’s official ticketing partner.
