September has arrived with absolutely no interest in letting anyone sit at home and “figure out plans later.” So, here are new events happening in India! Across Jaipur, Goa, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai, the weekends this month are offering stand-up, live music, art workshops, Bollywood nostalgia and enough DJ sets to make your Monday morning alarm feel personally offensive. 

15 New Events In India To Check Out This September

New Events In Jaipur

1. Over Confidence, Ravi Khurana LIVE

Ravi Khurana is taking his comedy one step further with Over Confidence, the follow-up to his 2025 show Confidence. The new set promises stories and observations drawn from the everyday messiness of middle-class life, social situations and the things people do when they are far too sure of themselves. Expect the sort of jokes that make you nudge your friend because, unfortunately, they sound exactly like them. 

Where: ORA, Malviya Nagar, Jaipur
When: Sat 5 Sep 2026 – Sun 11 Oct 2026, 7:30 PM
Cost: ₹399 onwards

2. Dastaan-E-Dev Anand, A Musical Evening

Dev Anand gets the full musical-storytelling treatment in this evening dedicated to the actor’s life and legacy. Sohaila Kapur and Nidhikant Pandey lead the narration, while singer Devanand Jha brings the music, with personal family anecdotes adding another layer to the story. For anyone who thinks old Bollywood had a little more andaaz, this should hit the spot.

Where: Sansthan Path, JLN Marg, Jaipur
When: Tue 8 Sep 2026
Cost: ₹199 onwards

Ravi Gupta’s title has already solved one problem; you can stop worrying about tomorrow, at least for the duration of the show. His stand-up special turns familiar situations and everyday observations into stories designed to make the audience laugh at the absurdity of ordinary life. Your problems will still be there after the show; unfortunately, they just won’t be as funny.

Where: Sector 7, Zone 70, Shipra Path, Mansarovar, Jaipur
When: Sat 5 Sep 2026 – Sat 26 Sep 2026
Cost: ₹799 onwards

4. Resin Beach Art

Here’s a plan for people who want to make something with their weekend besides a questionable decision. The Resin Beach Art workshop lets participants work with resin, pigments and decorative elements to create their own beach-inspired piece, with materials and guidance provided. You do not need to arrive with an art degree or the steady hands of a surgeon; you just need enough patience to let the resin do its thing.

Where: 38 & 38A, Upper Ground Floor, Block B, World Trade Park, J L N Marg, Malviya Nagar, Jaipur
When: Sat 5 Sep 2026 – Sun 27 Sep 2026, 3:00 PM

New Events In Goa

5. MOMENTS EP 25, THE ECLIPSE

Dynamo is setting the scene for The Eclipse, a ten-hour House and Techno event that leans heavily into darkness, atmosphere and late-night energy. Los Cabra is on the lineup, with the experience built around the contrast between cold moonlight and a dance floor that refuses to stay quiet. Goa, as usual, has chosen madness with excellent music.

Where: Survey 213, 6 Part, Vagator, Goa
When: Sat 5 Sep 2026, 2:45 PM
Cost: ₹1,499 onwards

6. Chandni Bar Meets Bollywood Ft. DJ Chetas, UNVRS

DJ Chetas brings India Tour 2.0 to UNVRS Goa, which means Bollywood is getting six hours to do what Bollywood does best! The night is built around big hits, club energy and a crowd that presumably knows every hook by heart. It is loud, nostalgic and absolutely not designed for anyone seeking a peaceful evening. Leave the quiet Goa fantasy for another day.

Where: UNVRS Club, Vagator, Goa
When: Fri 4 Sep 2026, 10:00 PM
Cost: ₹2,000 onwards

7. DJ Ganesh Live Performance, UNVRS Goa

DJ Ganesh is bringing Weekend Blockbuster to UNVRS for a Sunday night packed with Bollywood, commercial and electronic music. It is a final dance-floor push before the workweek comes knocking. Ignore Monday for as long as humanly possible.

Where: UNVRS Club, Vagator, Goa
When: Sun 6 Sep 2026 – Sun 27 Sep 2026, 10:00 PM
Cost: ₹1,000 onwards

New Events In Hyderabad

Emraan Hashmi and DJ Ganesh are joining forces for a four-hour Bollywood party called The Emraan Era. The night is built around Bollywood music, live energy and, naturally, the nostalgia attached to the songs that soundtracked an entire generation’s questionable romantic decisions. Expect familiar tracks and a crowd that probably knows the lyrics better than it knows its own passwords. Sari duniya ek taraf, Emraan Hashmi ek taraf, the brief is clear.

Where: Kondapur Main Road in CMC Enclave, Kondapur, Hyderabad
When: Sat 5 Sep 2026, 8:00 PM
Cost: ₹1,399 onwards

9. Olympian Circus Nizampet

The big top is back, but this is not just a couple of clowns and a sad-looking trapeze. Olympian Circus promises international circus artists, aerial acts, acrobatics, the Globe of Death, lasers and hologram effects in a 1-hour-40-minute spectacle. Come for the nostalgia; stay to watch people casually do things your spine would strongly object to.

Where: Olympian Circus, Nizampet, Hyderabad
When: Fri 4 Sep 2026 – Sun 6 Sep 2026
Cost: ₹150 onwards

10. Boho Texture Art Date

Dinner reservations can take the night off because this date involves clay, texture and getting properly creative together. Couples can create their own boho-style textured artwork using earthy tones and supplied materials, with guidance available throughout the workshop. At the end, you leave with something handmade rather than another blurry restaurant selfie.

Where: Red Rhino-Craft Brewery and Kitchen, Hyderabad
When: Sat 5 Sep 2026 – Sat 31 Oct 2026
Cost: ₹1,299 onwards

11. Sufi Night With Tariq Faiz Live

Tariq Faiz brings Sufi music and qawwalis to AKAN for a Sunday evening that swaps club beats for something more soulful. The live performance is paired with food, beverages and a relaxed setting, making it as much about the atmosphere as the music. It is a good excuse to get some peace after a noisy week and actually listen to what is being played. Sunday night, but with considerably more sukoon

Where: Plot No. 28, Survey No. 62, Shaikpet, opposite Durgam Cheruvu, Doctor’s Colony, Madhapur, Hyderabad
When: Sun 6 Sep 2026, 8:30 PM
Cost: ₹199 onwards

New Events In Chennai

12. Shamik Chakrabarti Live

Shamik Chakrabarti is bringing a fresh tour, fresh material and plenty of opportunities for the audience to become part of the joke. His style leans into dry humour and observations about everyday life, turning familiar annoyances into properly funny stories. The new material means even returning audiences have something to look forward to. Consider it a socially acceptable way to laugh at your own problems for an evening.

Where: 30/1, Sundareswarar Street, near Lady Sivaswamy School, Girija Garden, Mylapore, Chennai
When: Sat 12 Sep 2026 – Sun 15 Nov 2026, 7:00 PM
Cost: ₹599 onwards

13. Folk Machi

Sakshin Mohan’s Folk Machi brings folk and acoustic rock together with catchy hooks, mellow fingerstyle guitar and lyrics inspired by old lovers and everyday life. His influences include Alex Turner, Bob Dylan and Nick Drake, which gives you a fairly good idea of where the musical mood is headed. The show at Kat and Kin Coffee Roasters also comes with the irresistible combination of live music and coffee. 

Where: 4/350, 5th South Cross Street, Sri Kapaleeswarar Nagar, Neelankarai, Chennai
When: Sat 5 Sep 2026, 11:00 AM
Cost: ₹499

Anubhav Singh Bassi returns after Bas Kar Bassi with another two-hour dose of stories, awkward situations and the beautifully chaotic logic that runs through his comedy. Kisi Ko Batana Mat keeps the focus on storytelling, letting ordinary experiences spiral into increasingly ridiculous territory. If you have seen Bassi before, you already know that one small story can become a full saga before you realise it. 

Where: No. 7, Shenstone Park, 13/1 Harrington Road, Chetpet, Chennai
When: Fri 11 Sep 2026 – Sun 25 Oct 2026
Cost: ₹999 onwards

When: September 18–27, 2026
Cost: ₹999 onwards

And Now, Pick Your Poison

Fifteen events, five cities and absolutely no excuse for another “let’s just stay in” weekend. Jaipur has comedy and craft, Goa has its speakers turned up to irresponsible levels, Bengaluru is putting office trauma on stage, Hyderabad has everything from qawwali to the Globe of Death, and Chennai is serving indie music alongside Bassi’s stories. Now all that remains is the hardest part: choosing one.
