NEW DELHI, 26 Aug: From the mist-covered hills of the Northeast to the heart of the capital, a new sound is ready to make its mark on India's biggest musical stage. Meghalaya's Da-La-Riti, Nagaland's Seyie Intrepid and Street Stories, and Arunachal Pradesh's Dobom Doji Collective are set to bring the region's rich musical traditions and contemporary sounds to Soundscapes of India (SOI) Season 3, taking place from 29-31 August 2026 at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, New Delhi.

Performing alongside international artists and bands from across India, the Northeastern acts will showcase everything from Naga tribal traditions to Khasi folk traditions, pop-punk and indigenous Arunachal melodies, giving audiences and global music industry professionals a vibrant glimpse into the region's diverse and rich musical landscape.

Organized by the Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS), in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, government of India, Soundscapes of India is the country's premier Showcase Festival-where India's exceptional music and artists meet the global music industry, opening doors to discovery, dialogue and new opportunities.
