The beauty carnival of the year is making its much-awaited return, and this time it’s turning up the volume in the capital. After two exciting editions in Mumbai, Nykaaland is all set to make its Delhi-NCR debut this November! While the annual event is best known for its beauty showcases and makeup experiences, the third edition promises to be a full-spectrum sensory experience with avant-garde installations, genre-bending music performances and a beauty scene as bold as Delhi itself! This year’s artist line-up brings together a mix of India’s most exciting home-grown artists from indie dreamers and disco revivalists to genre-defying DJs, each adding their own beat to Nykaaland’s creative rhythm! Here’s who’s lighting up the Nykaaland stage this November. 1. Prateek Kuhad: The indie-pop crooner behind cult favourites like Cold/Mess and Kasoor brings his signature blend of heart and harmony to the stage. Fans can expect a set that feels like a warm hug, tender, wistful and perfectly timed for the golden-hour glow! 2. Jonita Gandhi: From What Jhumka to Arabic Kuthu, Jonita’s voice is pure charisma. Her dynamic set is a mirror to the festival’s high-shine aesthetic, old, expressive and impossible to ignore. 3. Panjabi MC: The man behind ‘Mundiyan To Bach Ke Rahi’ returns to the decks, merging bhangra and hip-hop in a way that only he can. Moreover, along with his tunes, he brings to the stage with a dash of nostalgia and a ton of desi swagger! 4. DJ MoCity: Known for his seamless mixes across genres — from deep house to funk – DJ MoCity will keep the energy flowing as festival-goers hop from one exhibit to the other! 5.

Dot: Known for her infectious indie-pop energy, Dot. Brings brightness and bounce to every stage. Her set promises to be a high-spirited celebration of freedom, fun and self-expression!
