Lucknow: Long celebrated for its refined culture, classical arts and musical traditions, Lucknow is ready to embrace a contemporary cultural milestone. For the first time in its history, the city will host a large-scale, open-air music festival of national stature. Boho Fest 2025, scheduled for December 27 and 28 at Janeshwar Mishra Park, promises to redefine the city’s cultural landscape by bringing together music, art, food and immersive experiences under one vibrant umbrella.
A Festival Beyond Music
Boho Fest is not just about performances on stage; it is about creating an atmosphere where the city comes alive. Picture a relaxed afternoon with indie tunes drifting across green lawns, seamlessly transitioning into a glowing sundowner as stage lights illuminate the night with rhythm and energy. With thoughtfully curated activities, pop-up experiences and diverse food options, the festival is designed as a wholesome, family-friendly event—something Lucknow has long been waiting for.
A Space for Everyone
What sets Boho Fest apart is its inclusive spirit. It is envisioned as a space where age, taste and preference dissolve into shared enjoyment. Whether it is the young crowd chasing beats, families soaking in the ambience, food lovers exploring flavours or curious souls discovering art and healing spaces, Boho Fest aims to give Lucknow a collective voice, colour and heartbeat.
Three Stages, One Unified Experience
Spread across the expansive grounds of Janeshwar Mishra Park, the festival features three dedicated performance arenas. The Main Stage will host headline acts, the Indie Stage will spotlight soulful and alternative sounds, while the EDM and techno lovers will find their sanctuary at the Garden of Secrets. With a single-day pass granting access to all stages and experiences, the festival ensures seamless movement between genres and moods.
Immersive Zones and Cultural Experiences
Beyond music, Boho Fest offers a multi-sensory journey. Art installations, flea and lifestyle markets, healing and spirituality spaces, a dedicated kids’ and carnival zone, and a bustling food and beverage market together create a festival ecosystem that encourages exploration and interaction throughout the day.
Star-Studded Line-up Across Two Days
Day one opens with energetic band performances by Last Cigarette Theory and Naacheez The Band, followed by indie artist Sanjeeta. The evening builds momentum with Rabbi Shergill on the Main Stage, leading into a powerful headline performance by DIVINE. The EDM arena comes alive with DJ Bullzeye and culminates with DJ Novna as the closing act.
Day two continues the musical journey with Ansh Thakur and Jatin Sharma setting the tone early in the day. Indie artist Piyush Kapoor takes over in the afternoon, while folk icon Mame Khan brings his signature sound to the Main Stage in the evening. The night peaks with Paresh Pahuja’s performance, as the EDM stage wraps up with sets by Nida and closing act DJ Santana.
Towards an Annual Cultural Signature
Designed to grow into Lucknow’s annual cultural hallmark, Boho Fest stands for community, creativity and togetherness. At its core lies a simple yet powerful idea—Lucknow coming together for Lucknow’s very own festival. As the city prepares to welcome thousands of music lovers, Boho Fest 2025 is poised to mark the beginning of a new cultural tradition in the City of Nawabs.
