Mumbai, India | March 2026: SIMBA Uproar, the culture-first music and action sports property by Simba, returns with its 2026 edition in Mumbai on 22nd March at the MMRDA Grounds. After a high-impact edition in Delhi last year, the festival expands its scale and ambition with a sharper focus on hip-hop, live performance culture and extreme sports integration.
For the first time since inception, SIMBA Uproar 2026 will follow a single-tier ticketing format at just Rs 699/- with no VIP segregation. The format eliminates premium access zones and elevated enclosures, placing artists and audiences on one shared floor. This move reinforces the festival’s core philosophy of equal access and community-led culture, positioning the event as a music-first experience rather than a hierarchy-driven spectacle.
The 2026 artist line-up features KRSNA, Sambata and Dhanji, along with a main DJ set by Ishani, Bobkat and OG SHEZ. Together, the line-up reflects SIMBA Uproar’s commitment to spotlighting contemporary hip-hop voices alongside high-energy live performance formats.
Building on last year’s response, the 2026 edition will also place a stronger spotlight on FMX stunts and professional riders. Curated FMX segments will be staged as headline visual moments within the festival, integrating motorsport spectacle into the core live music experience. The festival will also feature immersive brand zones, curated cultural installations and interactive audience spaces.
SIMBA Uproar’s edition 2025 took place in Delhi at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and brought together thousands of attendees for a high-energy showcase of music and urban culture. The line-up featured King, Raga, Karma, Trick Singh and Pho, with the festival also hosting FMX stunt showcases, skate arenas, live art installations and collaborative brand experiences. The event established SIMBA Uproar as a credible platform within India’s evolving hip-hop and youth culture ecosystem.
Speaking on the 2026 edition, Ishwaraj Singh Bhatia, Co-founder, Simba and ZigZag, said, “SIMBA Uproar was built as a culture-first platform where artists and audiences stand on equal footing. The response in Delhi reinforced our belief that India is ready for music properties that prioritise access and authenticity. With Mumbai, we are scaling the experience while staying true to the core ethos of the festival.”
As part of the lead-up to the Mumbai edition, SIMBA Uproar will also host a series of smaller gigs across select cities. These pre-event showcases aim to build momentum, engage regional hip-hop communities and extend the festival’s cultural footprint beyond the mainstage.
