Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru, north Bengaluru's newest large-format show venue.

“I have always enjoyed the energy of the audiences there, so I am excited to make new memories and share the feeling with them again.”

• Alesso, on returning to India

Alesso plays Bengaluru on Friday, November 27, 2026, at Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru, and this one is a first. He has been to India several times since 2013, including alongside Swedish House Mafia, but this is being billed as his first headline solo tour in the country.

The tour is titled Smirnoff Experience ft. Alesso, presented by the Smirnoff Lemon Pop Non-Alcoholic Experience and produced and promoted by Sunburn. Two cities only: Bengaluru on the 27th, then Delhi NCR at HUDA Gymkhana Club in Gurugram on the 28th. We get the opening night, which in my experience is usually the hungrier one.

If your relationship with dance music was formed anywhere between 2011 and 2016, you already know the setlist. Heroes (We Could Be), Calling (Lose My Mind), Under Control with Calvin Harris. This is a greatest-hits crowd, and that is not a criticism.

When and Where Is Alesso Playing in Bengaluru?

Friday, November 27, 2026, at Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru. It is a Friday, which is both good news and a warning: you will be travelling north through the city in Friday evening traffic, so leave far earlier than the doors time suggests.

Bhartiya Mall has quickly become one of the city's go-to large-format venues, and the same show is at HUDA Gymkhana Club in Gurugram the following night if you happen to be travelling.

LEAVE EARLY

North Bengaluru on a Friday evening is the single hardest commute in this city. Two hours before doors is not paranoid, it is arithmetic.

What Kind of Set Does Alesso Play?

A hits-forward progressive house set with festival-scale production. The Stockholm-born producer broke through with his 2011 remix of Nadia Ali's Pressure, was mentored early by Swedish House Mafia's Sebastian Ingrosso, and has since built a catalogue of platinum records and collaborations with Katy Perry, Usher, David Guetta, Hailee Steinfeld and Liam Payne.

  • Expect the anthems. Heroes, Calling and Under Control are the spine of any Alesso set and the reason most of the room is there.
  • Expect production. Sunburn shows are built around lights and staging. Standing slightly further back is often the better view.
  • Expect a long build. The first half is warm-up. Do not spend your legs before 11 PM.

How Do I Get There and Get Home?

Metro as far north as it takes you, then a cab, and sort your ride home before the set ends. This is the same advice I give for every large north Bengaluru venue, and it is the difference between a good night and a bitter one.

  • Metro plus cab. Ride the Green Line north, then take an auto or cab for the last stretch.
  • Driving. Parking exists at mall venues. Exiting one at 1 AM with everyone else does not go quickly.
  • Carpool. Four people, one car, one person who is genuinely not drinking.
  • Carry ID. Large electronic shows in India are usually strictly 18 plus, and the gate will check.
