Platinum-selling DJ and producer Francis Mercier returns to India as he embarks on a five-city tour this December, a little more than a year after he performed in India during his three-city tour in October 2025.
Amid India's music concert season, there are many Indian musicians embarking on tours, but at the same time, Mercier joins quite a few international artists who are set scheduled to perform in different parts of the country in the next three months.
Among other cities, Mumbai will see the likes of Chainsmokers, Sebastian Ingrosso and DJ Snake headline the Sunburn music festival this year.
Known for blending House music and worldly influences, Mercier will perform across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad and Goa, with the Mumbai and Delhi NCR shows being his signature Solèy branded music showcases.
The tour, produced by Sunburn, kicks off in Bengaluru on December 23, followed by Mumbai on December 24, Delhi NCR on December 25, Hyderabad on December 26 and Goa on December 27. It comes at a time when many Indians are travelling only to attend the music concert.
General On-Sale of tickets will go live exclusively on BookMyShow on September 24.
Born in Port-au-Prince and raised in Haiti before moving to New York, Mercier's multicultural upbringing has played a defining role in his musical identity. As founder of Deep Root Records, he has also built a platform dedicated to connecting emerging and established talent within the global electronic music scene. His catalogue features releases and collaborations with artists including Mahmut Orhan, Gorgon City, BLOND, Magic System, Amadou & Mariam and Roland Clark.
Breakthrough releases including 'Premier Gaou', 'Sauti', 'Kamili' and 'Sadete' have amassed millions of streams and earned support from names including Black Coffee, Keinemusik, Vintage Culture, RÃFÃS DU SOL and more. His music has reached Number 2 on Beatport's overall Top 10 and received airplay on BBC Radio 1, Tomorrowland One Radio, Diplo's Revolution on SiriusXM, Radio FG and NRJ.
Francis Mercier said, "I'm looking forward to being back in India this December. There's a real energy in these crowds and a genuine connection to the sound I make, which is always exciting as an artist. This tour lets me bring that experience to five cities and I'm excited for what December has in store."
Mercier's live performances have taken him to some of the world's most recognised festivals and clubs, including Coachella and Tomorrowland, as well as stages in Ibiza, London, Paris, Dubai, New York, Marrakech, Beirut and Los Angeles. Known for his energetic stage presence, the international DJ continues to bring together cultures, sounds and audiences from around the world, and India will witness it once again in 2026.
