Nodwin Gaming has announced the return of the much-loved NH7 Weekender to Pune for its 2026 edition. The highly anticipated music festival in Pune is all set to mark a nostalgic homecoming for what is widely known as “India’s happiest music festival". 

NH7 Weekender is scheduled to take place from March 13 to March 15. As per the official statement, the festival marks its return to its long-time venue, Mahalakshmi Lawns, Pune. 


While NH7 Weekender has been a festival known for bringing some of the great artists under one place, the 2026 edition will be headlined by a genre-spanning lineup featuring Talwiinder, Prateek Kuhad, Aditya Gadhvi, Raftaar x Krsna, Faheem Abdullah, Aditya Rikhari, KING, Indian Ocean, Nucleya, and several more artists. 



Furthermore, the comedy lineup for the NH7 Weekender is yet to be announced, adding an element of surprise to the upcoming season.

The thrilling music festival in Pune this year has been sponsored by ICONiQ. The brand’s association with the festival aims to connect with India’s new generation of legal drinking-age consumers who value individuality and contemporary cultural experiences.

Tickets are now live

An exclusive presale window is currently open for Mastercard users, while general ticket sales begin on February 13, 2026. Tickets are available in the district by the Zomato app, the festival’s official ticketing partner.

Speaking about the return, Akshat Rathee, co-founder and MD of Nodwin Gaming, said, “Pune has always been central to the festival’s identity, with many attendees associating it with formative memories and lasting friendships. “Bringing NH7 back to Pune in 2026 feels like coming full circle.”

He further added that this year’s theme encourages attendees to step away from screens and reconnect with live experiences.

Alok Gupta, Managing Director of Allied Blenders and Distillers, noted, “Cultural festivals are increasingly becoming mainstream platforms influencing younger consumers.”

Road to Weekender

NH7 Weekender will also roll out its ‘Road to Weekender’ campaign across Mumbai and Pune, featuring interactive engagements and opportunities to win festival passes and exclusive on-ground experiences.

The festival is a NODWIN IP, curated by Big Bad Wolf, with Exceed Entertainment as a revenue partner and EVA Live as an event partner. Organisers have urged fans to follow official social media channels for updates and further announcements.
