Bollywood 90s Jamming set for April 26 at Bharat Mandapam
Live sing-along event in Delhi sees strong ticket demand on BookMyShow
MUMBAI: Rewind, press play and suddenly, it’s the 90s all over again. Bollywood 90s Jamming is set to take over Bharat Mandapam on April 26, 2026, promising a full-blown nostalgia trip for Delhi’s music lovers. Curated as a tribute to Bollywood’s golden musical era, the event will feature a live performance by India Music Collective, known for turning concerts into participative experiences where audiences don’t just listen, they sing along, often word for word. The format leans into collective nostalgia, blurring the line between performer and crowd.
Organised by Brand Spotify Marketing & Event Agency, the event is being led by a team comprising Rohan Sharma, Mishita Batra, Akshita Jain and Ravneet Kaur, who are positioning it as more than just a concert, an immersive throwback to an era when music was as much about memory as melody.
Early indicators suggest the pitch is landing. Tickets, currently live on BookMyShow, are witnessing strong demand, pointing to a packed evening where retro hits meet a new-age audience eager to relive them in unison.
Set against the expansive backdrop of Bharat Mandapam, the event is designed to recreate the communal energy of 90s Bollywood where lyrics were instantly recognisable and emotions universally shared. As the city gears up for April 26, the promise is simple, a night where thousands gather not just to hear the music, but to become part of it.
For Delhi, it’s shaping up to be less of a concert and more of a collective memory set to a soundtrack everyone already knows by heart.
