DAG's latest show is a slow walk through early 19th-century India as painted by both Indian and British artists: forts, mountain passes, rivers, and rural stretches rendered in the grand, dramatic style of the colonial picturesque. It’s an excellent way of introducing yourself to the parts of this historical era that usually are too subtle to make it to books.

When: March 28-May 3, 11am-7pm

Where: DAG, Janpath

Tickets: Free

Arthshila's sprawling month-long show marks 50 years of the Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation with work from five decades of artists the Foundation has championed – pioneering names alongside emerging ones. But it's also more than that: panel talks, film screenings, interactive theatre workshops, curator-led walkthroughs and art-tech experiments fill the programme through April. Worth more than one visit.

When: On until April 30, 11am-7pm

Where: Arthshila, Delhi

Tickets: Free

The German hard-rock legends are back in India for the first time in nearly two decades, and they're bringing five hours of it. Rock You Like a Hurricane, Wind of Change, Still Loving You, Send Me an Angel – the catalogue runs deep and the band still plays like they have something to prove.

When: April 24, Friday, 5pm

Where: Huda Ground, Gurugram

Tickets: ₹4,500 onwards

Rusha & Blizza have been building a reputation for future-bass meets Indian folk, glitchy synths over ethnic textures, bass-heavy enough for a dancefloor and detailed enough for headphones. Hits like Aankh, Dilbar and Huzur have earned them fans well outside India. The Quorum in Gurugram is the right room for this. Note: Entry is 21+ only.

When: April 25, Saturday, 9pm 

Where: The Quorum, Sector 43, Gurugram 

Tickets: ₹1,600 onwards
