Sunburn Festival 2026 has named Swedish House Mafia co-founder Sebastian Ingrosso as its second headliner. He will perform at Mumbai's Mahalaxmi Racecourse on December 18 and 19, 2026, joining American EDM duo The Chainsmokers who were announced earlier. The festival, organised by Sunburn, said more global names will be added to the lineup in the coming weeks. Ingrosso returns to India after more than a decade. His last performance in the country was with Swedish House Mafia in 2012 during their One Last Time Tour. He also toured India in 2014 as part of Sunburn Arena with Axwell. Sunburn CEO Karan Singh called Ingrosso's return a 'homecoming' and said the festival is building an edition that brings together globally influential artists and a new generation of fans.
