Sneakerheads and street culture enthusiasts have a reason to celebrate as the Indian Sneaker Festival (ISF) gears up for its debut in Mumbai. After successful editions in New Delhi and Gurugram, the festival will take over MMRDA Grounds, Bandra Kurla Complex, on December 6 and 7, 2025 for its seventh edition.
Produced and promoted by Trix Entertainment, ISF Mumbai 2025 promises to be the festival’s most ambitious edition yet, with an expected attendance of over 60,000 across two days. The festival aims to bring together music, fashion, food, art, and street culture, positioning itself as a key cultural destination for Gen Z and young millennials.
The two-day festival will feature an exciting lineup of international and Indian artists across multiple genres. Headliners include Grammy-winning Afrobeats sensation Tyla, American rap superstar Lil Yachty, Belgian techno queen Charlotte de Witte, and superstar DJ and producer Alok, who will premiere his ‘Keep Art Human’ project. Other notable performances include techno acts Pan-Pot and Nicole Moudaber, electronic music tastemakers Magdalena and Cristoph, and homegrown stars KR$NA, Kayan, and Baby Jean.
Nikunj Duggal, Co-Founder, Indian Sneaker Festival said, “The Indian Sneaker Festival emerged from a vision to unify India’s sneaker and streetwear community. Over the past six years, our growth has been extraordinary, making the introduction of ISF to Mumbai audiences a natural progression for us. The inaugural edition signifies more than just expansion; it paves the way for a new cultural cornerstone in the city, combining music, fashion, food, art and community under one roof. This festival represents the biggest cultural weekend for Gen Z and young millennials in India, setting a new standard for live events. Following the Mumbai debut, we will also present our Delhi edition on the 20th and 21st of December 2025, further solidifying our national presence.”
Tyla expressed her excitement, stating, “I’m thrilled to be part of the Indian Sneaker Festival. It’s incredible to see such a vibrant landscape dedicated to sneaker and street culture in India. I look forward to connecting with all my fans in India for the very first time.”
Lil Yachty said, “I look forward to performing in India and celebrating creativity, community and culture with everyone at the Indian Sneaker Festival. This is my first time in the country, and I’m stoked!”
Beyond music, ISF Mumbai 2025 will showcase over 60 lifestyle brands including New Balance, Foot Locker, Fila, Puma, Gully Labs, Natty Garb, Deadbear, and Kilogram. The festival will also feature interactive sneaker customizations, live art activations, and exclusive limited-edition drops, cementing its position as a hub for India’s $3 billion sneaker market and $2 billion streetwear sector.
The festival experience will be complemented by Mumbai’s best food pop-ups, live cocktail bars, and immersive content zones designed for social media-savvy attendees. These zones will feature photo installations and sneaker-themed sets, creating share-worthy moments for festival-goers.
From a humble rooftop meetup in 2021 with just 900 attendees, ISF has grown into India’s largest festival celebrating sneakers, streetwear, and youth culture. Its debut in Mumbai marks a pivotal moment, promising a vibrant cultural weekend where global trends meet local creativity.
