Depot48 will host rising singer-songwriter Shriya Rao on February 27, 2026, marking her first-ever performance in Delhi NCR. The live showcase continues the venue’s programming focus on intimate, community-driven music experiences.
Over the years, Depot48 has built a reputation as a consistent live music venue in the capital, offering a platform where independent artists and audiences connect in a close-knit and unpretentious setting. Its programming approach blends contemporary relevance with a grounded, listening-focused environment.
Shriya Rao, an emerging voice in the independent music circuit, has been gaining attention for her candid songwriting and genre-fluid sound. Moving across indie, soul and contemporary influences, her music reflects vulnerability and personal storytelling. At Depot48, she is set to present an intimate set centred on her evolving body of work.
Girjashanker, Co-founder, Depot48 said, “Supporting young independent artists has always been important to us. We’ve built Depot48 as a venue where artists can connect with audiences in a real way. Shriya’s music feels honest and unfiltered, which makes this collaboration feel natural.”
Vikas, Co-Founder, Depot48, added, “For us, it’s never just about hosting a gig. It’s about creating an atmosphere where both the artist and the audience feel present. Shriya represents the kind of emerging talent we’re excited to back.”
Sharing her thoughts ahead of the performance, Shriya Rao said, “Playing at Depot48 already feels special because the room really listens. It’s an intimate space, and that allows me to share my music the way it’s meant to be heard. I started writing songs when I was 16, mostly as a way to make sense of things I didn’t yet have the words for. I’m looking forward to creating a moment that feels less like a show and more like something shared.”
