realme Music Fest draws over 6,000 fans in Delhi
Char Diwari and Dhanda Nyoliwala headline realme’s eight-year India celebration
MUMBAI: The beats were real, and so was the crowd. realme turned up the volume on its youth-focused positioning with the realme Music Fest 2026, drawing 6,000-6,500 attendees to the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre in New Delhi for an evening of music, technology and contemporary youth culture.
The event also marked eight years of realme in India, bringing together music fans, creators, technology enthusiasts and the brand’s community for live performances and interactive experiences.
The evening opened with Char Diwari, whose unconventional sound and performance style quickly got the crowd moving. Fans sang along, danced and captured moments as the festival gathered pace.
The night reached its high point with Dhanda Nyoliwala, who closed the event with a high-energy set featuring Russian Bandana, Not Guilty, Do Numbari, Dil De Baithi, Zigane and Maruti.
For the rapper, the crowd was as much a part of the performance as the music itself. Dhanda Nyoliwala credited his audience for his journey and said their continued support was what made performances such as the Delhi show special.
The festival comes as realme marks its eighth year in India and increasingly positions itself around a wider youth lifestyle proposition, extending beyond smartphones into music, culture and experiences.
Francis Wong, Head of Global Product Marketing, realme, said the festival brought music, technology and youth culture together, adding that the response at Yashobhoomi reflected the connection the brand had built with young consumers.
The event was built around participation and self-expression, with audiences experiencing live music alongside immersive and community-led engagements.
The two artist performances gave the evening its musical backbone, while the wider festival format reflected realme’s attempt to connect its “Make it real” philosophy with the interests and aspirations of young India.
With 6,000-6,500 people attending, the Delhi event added another chapter to the brand’s eight-year India journey, using music as the bridge between technology and the culture surrounding its young consumer base.
