Three weekends and seven venues. We begin with live music coding at Sabha and end with Monsoon Jam, CBP&Co. and Thermal and a Quarter at The Humming Tree. In between: a vinyl listening session on Indian electronica, improvised electronics at LURU HQ, songs in a small room, Esperanto in a Kengeri courtyard and Bindhumalini at Daak 64.
A small note on ticketing: each venue uses its own platform or exclusive ticketing partner, so booking several gigs means a few different checkout pages. Sorry for the run-around; that is ticketing in Bengaluru right now.
About the finale: a ₹1,000 Issue N°05 pre-order includes your Sep 20 invite. Bought the 2026 Box Set? You’re invited too. Door entry is ₹1,250 if places are left. Everyone collects the magazine on the way out.
We complain that the scene is dead, but we have never needed much persuading to show up for music. We have jumped queues at Palace Grounds and found ourselves at gigs in the middle of nowhere with no clear plan for getting home.
From Carnatic to techno, Dakhni rap to live coding, Kengeri and Jayanagar to Yelahanka, this is LURU’s way of asking you to brave the traffic and be part of the scene.
