Mahindra Blues Festival

The Mahindra Blues Festival is held every February at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai, and ranks among Asia's largest blues festivals. Launched in 2011 at the initiative of Anand Mahindra, it has hosted major names in the genre over the years, including Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, John Mayall and Billy Gibbons, alongside Indian acts such as Soulmate and Blackstratblues. The format stays deliberately intimate given the venue's limited capacity, and traditionally closes with an All-Star Jam bringing together the international headliners and local musicians.
