The Hornbill Music Festival 2026 is scheduled to take place from December 1 to December 10, 2026, running as a core evening highlight of Nagaland's legendary Hornbill Festival. Staged across key locations in Kohima and Dimapur, the music festival kicks off every evening from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, waking up the hills to pure sonic energy. Organized in collaboration with the Task Force for Music & Arts (TaFMA), this premier ten-day musical extravaganza acts as a massive platform for creative expression. The diverse, multi-genre lineup bridges centuries-old tribal roots with contemporary global soundscapes, featuring high-energy live sets that span from authentic Naga folk fusion to cutting-edge electronic beats, metal, and indie rock. Beyond showcasing prominent international headliners, the festival hosts highly competitive national talent searches—such as the country-wide "Ticket to Hornbill" band battle—transforming Nagaland into an incredible winter sanctuary for music purists, artists, and travelers.
