Muse and Train to Headline Bandland 2026 Festival in Bengaluru
Bengaluru is about to become the epicenter of rock and alternative music once again. Bandland Festival 2026 has officially announced its electrifying lineup — with U.K. rock titans Muse and American hitmakers Train headlining the two-day event on February 14 and 15, 2026, at NICE Grounds.
Produced by BookMyShow Live, Bandland Festival’s third edition promises to be its most dynamic yet, featuring a powerful mix of global icons and Indian favourites. Fans can expect a high-energy celebration of rock, alternative, and experimental sounds — just in time for Valentine’s weekend.
Global Icons Take the Stage
This edition of Badland Festival 2026 will mark Muse’s long-awaited India debut, a milestone moment for fans of the legendary British trio known for their anthemic soundscapes and theatrical live performances. With hits like “Supermassive Black Hole” and “Uprising”, Muse redefined rock for the modern age. Their recent single “Unravelling” adds to the excitement as they prepare for their first-ever performance on Indian soil.
Meanwhile, Train — best known for their Grammy-winning hit “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and pop-rock staples like “Hey, Soul Sister” and “Calling All Angels”– will also make their India debut at Bengaluru’s Bandland Festival 2026. The San Francisco-based band last released their 11th studio album AM Gold in 2022, showcasing their signature blend of nostalgia and radio-ready hooks.
