Goa is set to welcome a major music festival after a two-year hiatus, with Arijit Singh and Karan Aujla headlining the inaugural edition of ‘HOME’, a two-day music festival scheduled for December 29 and 30, 2026, at Vagator. Organised by Team Innovation, the festival is backed by Goa Tourism and supported by the Government of Goa.
‘HOME’ aspires to completely rewrite that narrative with an uncompromising statement: an all-Indian headline bill,” said Mohit Bijlani, founder of Team Innovation. Karan Aujla added, “We are currently witnessing a colossal shift in how the world perceives music coming out of India, and headlining a stage as ambitious as ‘HOME’ is exciting! I have enjoyed a great run with Team Innovation and I’m looking forward to performing at their debut music festival in Goa. “For decades, India looked outward, waiting for international franchises and global star power to define the premium festival experience. He added that the festival aims to provide a platform for emerging and established Indian musicians while placing homegrown talent at the centre of the experience.
Built around the tagline ‘HOME Is Where The Heart Is’, the festival will combine pop, electronic music and independent acts. The grounds will be designed by Aaquib Wani Design, known for its work on large-scale cultural spaces, with the organisers promising immersive production and what they describe as India’s largest-ever main stage layout. With its debut edition, ‘HOME’ aims to bring audiences to Goa for a year-end music experience while spotlighting the growing reach of Indian artists and the country’s live music circuit.
