BURPP Festival 2026 Returns to Guwahati in October with Divine as Day 1 Headliner

Guwahati will host BURPP Festival 2026 on 10–11 October, establishing itself as one of Northeast India's largest music and cultural gatherings. The two-day event will feature live music, regional cuisine, art installations, and community engagement spaces, celebrating the region's evolving cultural identity while providing a platform for both emerging and established artists.

Indian hip-hop artist Divine has been confirmed as the headline performer for Day 1, while organisers have announced that a major national artist will headline Day 2, with the name to be revealed in the coming days. The festival is expected to attract more than 40,000 attendees across the two-day celebration.

Beyond live performances, BURPP Festival 2026 will feature curated gourmet food and beverage zones, regional culinary showcases, art and cultural installations, interactive brand activations, flea markets, and lifestyle experiences. The event is designed as a multi-dimensional cultural experience that extends across multiple engagement spaces and community-driven activities.

A distinguishing aspect of the festival is its regional origin and independent curation. Conceived and developed in the Northeast, BURPP Festival aims to showcase local creativity while delivering large-scale entertainment experiences to audiences across the region. Organisers position the event as part of a growing movement of homegrown cultural platforms that highlight the Northeast as an increasingly significant destination within India's live entertainment ecosystem.

The festival is expected to draw visitors from across Assam and the wider Northeast, contributing to the region's expanding cultural and events landscape. Additional artist announcements and festival details are expected to be released in the lead-up to the October event.
