Red FM is set to launch the 4th edition of its signature Dugga Dugga Festival in Delhi, marking its debut in the capital on September 20, 2025, at Talkatora Stadium. Titled “Dugga Dugga – Shakti Roopena Sansthita”, the festival promises to bring the vibrancy of Bengal’s Durga Puja to Delhi with a multi-sensory cultural extravaganza.
Blending music, literature, dance, theatre, food, fashion, art, and community spirit, Dugga Dugga is Red FM’s tribute to the power and essence of Shakti. Rooted in the cultural fervor of Devi Pokkho, the festival seeks to recreate the warmth and energy of Pujo for audiences outside Bengal.
The Delhi edition features an impressive lineup of celebrated Bengali artists, including:
- Dona Ganguly & troupe – classical dance
- Iman Chakraborty – soulful music
- Anupam Roy Band – modern Bengali compositions
- Anjan Dutta with The Electric Band – contemporary performances
Nisha Narayanan, Director & COO, RED FM and Magic FM, said, “At Red FM, embracing and celebrating diverse cultures has always been central to who we are and Dugga Dugga Festival is a vibrant reflection of this ethos, a heartfelt tribute to the richness of Bengal. This year, we bring a contemporary twist to tradition, where folk meets modern rhythms, classical ragas intertwine with spoken word, and the spirit of Pujo comes alive in every sound, step, and beat. With its debut in Delhi, Dugga Dugga reinforces Red FM’s role as a cultural evangelist, bridging heritage with modernity, amplifying diverse voices, and celebrating India’s rich traditions. The festival stands as a testament to how cultural celebrations are not just rituals, but living expressions of unity, joy, and resilience crafted to inspire and engage everyone, everywhere.”
In addition to live performances, Dugga Dugga will feature authentic Bengali cuisine, spoken word and poetry sessions, artisan-led crafts, folk artistry, and interactive workshops, creating immersive cultural zones for all age groups.
After its success in Kolkata, Dugga Dugga’s expansion to Delhi reflects Red FM’s efforts to scale its flagship IPs across geographies, strengthening its role as a cultural innovator and community builder.
