Delhi events in November

Adam Port arrives in Delhi with a mix of cutting-edge electronic music, immersive production and electronic beats. A founding member of Berlin-based electronic music collective Keinemusik, Adam Port has built a distinctive sound and performed for audiences around the world. The Delhi show promises deep rhythms, powerful moments and an atmosphere focused on contemporary electronic music.

The German DJ and producer is known for his melodic, groove-heavy house sound and his growing influence on Afro-house. Port has built an international following through both his solo work and Keinemusik collaborations. His breakout global hit, “Move”, made with Stryv, Malachiii and Keinemusik, became one of his most recognisable tracks, followed by songs such as “Thandaza”, “Say What”, “Positions”, “See You Again” and “Be The One”.

What if Delhi could tell its own story? In Yeh Sheher Nahin Mehfil Hai, the Yamuna takes centre stage as the narrator, tracing the capital’s many lives, from being Indraprastha to metamorphosing into its present form, New Delhi, through the empires, cultures and histories. 

The title of the event translates roughly to ‘this is not a city, it is a gathering’. Kathak exponent Shivani Varma will be taking the stage with a layered tale brought to life through dance and theatre in a production by Sopaan. Consider it a date with Dilli’s past, will full aims to flatter it.

Catch the performance on Thursday, November 5, at the Crystal Ballroom, The LaLiT New Delhi. The evening begins with Hi-Chai from 5.30pm to 6.20pm, followed by the performance from 6.30pm to 7.15pm.

When: Thurs, November 5, 2026; 5.30pm onwards

Where: Crystal Ballroom, The LaLiT New Delhi

Nearest metro station: Barakhamba metro station (Blue Line)

The stand-up comedian has built his reputation on pointed observations about politics, public life and the contradictions of contemporary India. His delivery favours commentary over easy punchlines.

As part of his international tour, Kamra is coming to Delhi with his hot-off-the-press comedy set, Standing Up. Expect fresh jokes with the same old political undertones, a style statement Kamra has unapologetically owned over the years. Catch the show in Delhi or head to Gurugram the next day if you miss this one. Love him or loathe him, you really can't ignore him: Kunal Kamra is known for turning current affairs into punchlines and asking the uncomfortable questions everyone else skirts around.

Given Kamra's distinctive approach, expect an evening that may give you as much to debate on the way home as it does to laugh about.

When: November 11-19, 2026, from 7pm onwards

Where: KOPA Restaurant and Bar, Delhi

Nearest metro station: Lajpat Nagar (Pink Line)

Tickets: ₹1,499

For dance-music fans, ANOTR's Delhi debut is one of November's big-ticket bookings. The Amsterdam-based duo, comprising Jesse van der Heijden and Oguzhan Guney, have developed a distinctive house sound that draws on disco, funk and soul. Their track “Relax My Eyes” helped introduce them to a much wider audience, while their No Art label and events platform have become an extension of their musical world.

This particular event is a DJ booking mostly for the sake of a big name, ANOTR, honestly. The duo have cultivated a recognisable sound and a following around their approach to house music. So, naturally, expect a large-scale dance-floor gathering rather than a conventional seated concert.

When: Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 2pm

Where: Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Gate No. 1, New Delhi

Nearest metro station: JLN Stadium (Violet Line)

Tickets: Early-bird passes at ₹3,000–₹4,000; other passes priced higher

The Navrasa Duende World Movie Festival is back to remind Delhi that cinema is best enjoyed in a dark auditorium, preferably surrounded by people who don't check their phones every now and then.

This Delhi-based film society, founded by Dinesh B. Singh in 2016, has built a following among cinephiles with its thoughtfully curated line-up. The first part of its ninth edition has already served up a rather delicious cinematic mix: Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Malayalam classic Mathilukal, Agnès Varda's French New Wave gem Cléo from 5 to 7, Michael Haneke's unsettling The White Ribbon and the Coen brothers' wonderfully offbeat Inside Llewyn Davis. The second part of the edition, held in June, was equally diverse. Screenings were accompanied by introductions and conversations that offered audiences a deeper understanding of the films and their cultural contexts.

The November outing (the third part of the same edition) promises more of the same, with masterclasses by filmmakers, dialogues and a focus on regional cinema. The line-up this time includes films such as Good Bye, Lenin!, Citizen Kane and After Life. Also in focus are Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, known for acclaimed films such as Close-Up and Taste of Cherry, and American actor-filmmaker Orson Welles.

When: November 21–22, 2026

Where: M. L. Bhartia Auditorium, Lodhi Estate, New Delhi

Nearest metro: Jor Bagh (Yellow Line)

Tickets: Prices vary by screening.

Delhi's annual exhibition season wouldn't feel complete without the India International Trade Fair. Organised by the India Trade Promotion Organisation, the fair brings together exhibitors from across India and abroad, with displays spanning a broad range of products and sectors. The 45th edition takes place under the theme Vikas aur Virasat (development and heritage) and spreads across 17 halls at Bharat Mandapam.

There’ll be regional pavilions, handicrafts, textiles, home products, consumer goods and plenty of food. The fair has been a recurring fixture on Delhi's calendar for decades, making it as much a winter shopping ritual as an exhibition. Wear comfortable shoes and expect it to become an all-day expedition.

When: November 13–27, 2026, from 10am to 8pm

Where: Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi

Nearest metro station: Supreme Court (Blue Line)

Tickets: ₹500 per ticket

A very cool shortcut to discovering a wide range of contemporary art without spending a weekend hopping across the city. The 11th Delhi edition of India Art Festival is listed with 25 galleries, 100 booths, 350 artists and around 3,500 artworks. The fair brings together different practices and styles in one space, making it an interesting outing for collectors, art students and the simply curious.

You can browse paintings, sculptures and other contemporary works, discover artists you might not have encountered otherwise, and get a feel for the range of work being shown across the art scene. Unlike a single-gallery exhibition, the fair's scale means you can move between different artists and perspectives in one visit.

When: November 20-22, 2026, from 11am to 8pm

Where: Constitution Club of India, Rafi Marg, New Delhi

Nearest metro station: Patel Chowk (Yellow Line)

Tickets: ₹299 for a three-day Art Fair Pass

Lucknow’s tehzeeb, Kerala’s Syrian Christian cooking and the North East’s tribal flavours all turn up at the same palace this November. Twelve chefs from across India are cooking the food they grew up around, alongside Himalayan herbs and a few more regional surprises. Between plates, wander through stalls inspired by local handicrafts, catch folk performances and live demos, sit in on panel discussions and browse a bazaar of culinary and artistic specialities.

When: November 13-15, 12pm onwards

Where: Travancore Palace, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Connaught Place

Tickets: BookMyShow. ₹899 onwards.

For fans of K-pop, Korean food, films and all things Hallyu, Korea Culture Day is the kind of cultural celebration that brings contemporary and traditional Korea together.

When: November 13-22, 2026

Where: Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden, New Delhi

From Roja and Bombay to Dil Se.. and Rockstar, A.R. Rahman’s music has soundtracked generations.
