Arijit Singh and Karan Aujla to headline new HOME festival in Goa in December
Team Innovation's HOME festival will run for two days in Vagator on 29 and 30 December 2026, with more than 30 Indian artists on the bill and the organisers pitching it as an all-Indian affair.
Arijit Singh and Karan Aujla will top the bill at HOME, a new two-day festival in Vagator, Goa, on 29 and 30 December 2026. The event is the debut festival from live entertainment company Team Innovation and has the backing of Goa Tourism and the Government of Goa, according to musicplus.in.
It will be the first time Singh and Aujla appear on the same festival lineup. For Aujla it is also a first ticketed public concert in Goa, while Singh is coming back to the state after a long absence.
An all-Indian headline pitch
Team Innovation founder Mohit Bijlani has framed HOME as a deliberate alternative to the foreign-brand festivals that have set the tone at the top end of the market. His argument, as reported by musicplus.in, is that Indian promoters spent years looking abroad for that standard.
“For decades, India looked outward, waiting for international franchises and global star power to define the premium festival experience.”
Bijlani said HOME aims to answer that with an all-Indian headline bill and to put homegrown artists at the centre of the programme.
Aujla spoke of a "colossal shift" in how the world perceives music from India, and said headlining HOME was exciting. He also noted his history of working with Team Innovation. Singh's statement was shorter, saying he was looking forward to seeing audiences in Goa.
More than 30 acts
Below the two headliners, the bill mixes independent and electronic acts. Named performers include Jasleen Royal, DJ Chetas, KING, Jasmin Walia, Yung Raja, Lijo, Malavika Manoj, Mayur Jumani Live, Garvit Priyansh, Mxrci and JXGGI.
The list continues with Aarzu Boys featuring Khan & Noor, Afterall (Habibi Please), Ali Merchant, Banjaare, Gini, Pro Bros, Wish, Aadyaa, Amare, Avneet Music, Dhyan Live, HRX, Nitish Wadhwa, PRFCT & Dark, Rohan Mukati, Sazi and Techtronix.
Aaquib Wani Design will lead production and visual design. Organisers have also announced an expansive main stage and experiential installations.
