Chase & Status, Kiss Nuka, Stephan Bodzin, and Ben Klock Announced for DGTL India 2024

DGTL, one of India’s most eagerly awaited and beloved festivals, is back for its 4th edition, unveiling an exciting two-city lineup featuring international and local artists.

The festival will take place at Nesco Center in Mumbai on November 8th and 9th and at Jayamahal Palace in Bengaluru on November 9th and 10th.

This year’s lineup boasts an impressive array of talent, including drum and bass duo Chase & Status, the underground queen Sama Abdulhadi, techno legend Stephan Bodzin, Berlin-based veteran Ben Klock, South Asian tastemaker and UKG sensation Yung Singh, enigmatic German DJ and producer Parra For Cuva, trailblazer SPFDJ, Toronto-native of Indian descent Chippy Nonstop, and acclaimed African electronic music artist Masšh, all set to infuse the festival with global energy.

Attendees can also look forward to the return of Indian acts such as Bullzeye, Axl Stace, Sickflip, and Tasnneem, following their standout performances in previous editions. The artist lineup also features popular Swiss musician and DJ Jimi Jules, Montreal-based crowd favorite CRi, known for his distinctive blend of high-energy basslines, dreamy multilingual vocals, and upbeat melodies, as well as Amsterdam resident Nicky Elisabeth, who brings her unique sound of “melodic techno with a twist.” Festival-goers can also expect stellar performances from prominent local artists, including Kiss Nuka, Stalvart John, Kollision, and Unnayanna, promising an unforgettable experience with live acts and fresh sounds to explore.

Renowned for its stages set in raw, industrial environments, the festival will feature cutting-edge visual experiences and stunning stage lighting, including innovative LED panels, moving lights, and spotlights, all contributing to a rememberable aesthetic. The venues will be transformed into striking warehouse-style spaces, each hosting three distinct stages: Modular, Generator by Budweiser, and Gain.

More than just a festival, DGTL represents a global concept, with events held worldwide. It’s a celebration of discovery, inspiration, and innovation, always seeking a balance between top-tier art and music, emerging talents, and exciting local gems. DGTL is committed to becoming the most sustainable festival on the planet, making substantial efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. The Amsterdam edition is particularly renowned for its plant-based food court and prohibition of single-use plastics. By 2022, DGTL Amsterdam had reached full sustainability and circularity.

Festival Director Ellen Evers said in a press release, “We’re thrilled to bring DGTL back to India for our fourth edition. It’s always special to host our festival in Mumbai and Bengaluru, thanks to the enthusiastic audiences there. Preparations are in full swing, and we can’t wait to share what we have planned with our fans.”
