If you follow the club side of India's live calendar, the last week of December just got a lot more crowded. French house producer Hugel, the man behind the global crossover hit "Bella Ciao", has an India run on sale this week, and his Brazilian peer Mochakk is lined up for the same stretch.

The Hugel shows

Two dates are live on District's official event pages as of 28 October 2026:

Kolkata, Friday 25 December: 4:00 pm to 2:00 am, gates at 3:30 pm. Tickets on District.
Goa, Sunday 27 December: 5:00 pm to 5:00 am on the Monday, gates at 4:30 pm. Tickets on District.

The venue for both is still listed as to be announced, and prices are not shown yet. A Delhi date on 26 December also has a Thumpn listing, but its date, venue and prices were not visible when we checked, so treat the Delhi details as not yet confirmed by us.

When tickets open

Both District pages carry the same schedule. Early access registration runs from 5 pm on 28 October to 3:59 pm on 30 October. Pre-sale follows from 4 pm on 30 October to 2:30 pm on 31 October. General sale starts at 3 pm on 31 October.

Registering early is the practical move if you want a Christmas or year-end slot.

Mochakk and the rest of the December bill

Mochakk, the Brazilian DJ who toured India earlier this year, with a Bengaluru show in May, is also listed for the Circus India weekend in Bengaluru, which carries a heavier techno lineup including Boris Brejcha and I Hate Models, and for the Sunburn Festival closing party in Mumbai on 20 December. Those dates and the Hyderabad leg of Circus India are not yet officially confirmed in the listings we could open, so we are not treating them as locked. We will update when the promoters publish full details.

Why it matters

India's December club window has mostly meant Goa and Mumbai. Kolkata getting a headline slot on Christmas Day, alongside Goa and Delhi listings, is a sign of how far the circuit now stretches.
