After six groundbreaking editions across New Delhi and Gurugram, the Indian Sneaker Festival (ISF) is set to make its much-awaited debut in Mumbai on 6th and 7th December 2025 at the MMRDA Grounds, Bandra Kurla Complex. Produced and promoted by Trix Entertainment, ISF Mumbai 2025 marks the festival’s most ambitious edition to date, with an anticipated footfall of over 60,000 across two days.
The Mumbai edition will deliver an unparalleled convergence of music, fashion, sneakers, food and art, creating the ultimate cultural playground for India’s Gen Z, Gen Alpha and millennial audiences. Festivalgoers can expect electrifying performances across two stages with an international and homegrown artist lineup that reflects the pulse of global pop culture.
Headlining the music stage are Grammy-winning Afrobeats sensation Tyla, American rap icon Lil Yachty, Belgian techno powerhouse Charlotte de Witte and superstar DJ-producer Alok, who will also premiere his visionary Keep Art Human project in India. Joining them are techno titans Pan-Pot and Nicole Moudaber, electronic tastemakers Magdalena and Cristoph, alongside homegrown stars including hip-hop heavyweight KR$NA, genre-bending performer Kayan and rising rapper Baby Jean.
 Speaking on the occasion, Nikunj Duggal, Co-Founder of the Indian Sneaker Festival, said:
“The Indian Sneaker Festival emerged from a vision to unify India’s sneaker and streetwear community. Our growth has been extraordinary, and bringing ISF to Mumbai is a natural progression. This debut 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, ISF Mumbai 2025 will be the biggest cultural weekend of the year.”
Artists too are looking forward to their India debuts. “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,” said Tyla. Lil Yachty added, “This is my first time performing in India, and I’m stoked to celebrate creativity, community and culture with ISF fans.”
 At the heart of the festival is its commitment to sneaker and streetwear culture. Over 60 global and Indian lifestyle brands including New Balance, Foot Locker, Fila, Puma, Comet, Gully Labs, Natty Garb, Deadbear, Chapter2, Kilogram will showcase exclusive limited-edition drops, live customizations and interactive art activations. With India’s sneaker market projected to reach $3 billion in 2025 (CAGR 25–30%) and the streetwear market valued at $2 billion, ISF Mumbai is positioned as the country’s definitive platform for fashion-forward youth.
Adding to the immersive experience, ISF Mumbai 2025 will feature curated food pop-ups, street-food legends, modern fusion kitchens, cocktail bars and beverage zones, offering a diverse culinary landscape. A content creation zone with sneaker-inspired backdrops and street-style installations will also allow digital-native festivalgoers to capture and share their experiences.
From its humble beginnings as a rooftop meetup with just 900 attendees in 2021, ISF has grown into India’s largest sneaker and street culture movement. With Mumbai now joining its map, ISF sets a new benchmark for cultural festivals in India, promising a celebration that will go down as the pinnacle of Mumbai’s cultural calendar in 2025. |
