The 14th edition of the London International Arts Festival (LIAF) returns in 2025 as a hybrid festival, presenting 11 live events across London alongside four special concerts streamed from Bangalore, India, to audiences in the UK. The festival brings together an eclectic mix of live and virtual performances featuring leading artists and industry professionals from across the global music scene.
Curated by acclaimed South Indian violinist Dr. Jyotsna Srikanth MBE, LIAF 2025 celebrates the vibrant diversity of world music. This year’s handpicked programme showcases outstanding emerging world music bands alongside celebrated masters of South Indian classical (Carnatic) music.
Hosted by Dhruv Arts, a UK-based not-for-profit organisation, LIAF continues its mission of promoting music education and cross-cultural engagement through concerts, workshops, and masterclasses. Dhruv Arts supports artistic learning for all ages while presenting South Asian, Carnatic, and world art forms.

Founded in 2012, the London International Arts Festival has featured artists from India, Mexico, Serbia, Turkey, North America, and beyond. In addition to world-class performances, the festival offers immersive masterclasses, creating a vital platform for cross-cultural and multi-generational artistic exchange.
Festival founder, curator, and violin virtuoso Dr. Jyotsna Srikanth MBE says: “What began as a vision to showcase the finest South Indian Carnatic music has grown into a rich and evolving tapestry of music and arts from across continents.”
LIAF 2025 is supported by Arts Council England, with the virtual concerts streamed from Bangalore supported by Prayog Studio / Only Kannada OTT.
