Lub. Dub. It’s the first rhythm every one of us learns through a stethoscope, and the oldest beat there is. BEATS 2026 takes it off the wards and onto the stage: five days where the only thing anyone is checking is the tempo.
From a dhol at the front of a baraat to a band’s kick drum to the hush before a mono-act, everything at BEATS starts with a pulse. This year’s theme is a nod to where we spend the rest of the year, and a promise that for five days, we won’t.
Proposed edition theme, to be confirmed by the organising committee.
