Delhi, 13 September 2025: From the rumble of engines to the pulse of music, Motoverse 2025 is
turning up the volume like never before! Over the years, Motoverse (formerly Rider Mania) has grown into a stage artists return to, where coastal sunsets meet big live moments, and each leaving their mark between ride-ins and the sea breeze. This year pushes the arc further: Grammy‑winning hitmaker Diplo returns to India to headline alongside co‑headliner Hanumankind—fresh from a breakout Coachella run.

It’s a full-circle moment for Diplo, whose early journeys across India on a Royal Enfield immersed him in its streets, sounds, and stories—shaping a global, genre-defying sound built on movement and risk. This November, he brings that energy back to Goa with a set of thumping beats, raw improvisation, and pure celebration of the freedom and thrill that first drew him here.

A few artists embody the raw, unfiltered energy of Motoverse as powerfully as Hanumankind. In 2023,
the Bengaluru-born rapper tore through the Motoverse stage with a set that felt like pure dynamite.
Since then, his rise has been meteoric; one of the very few Indian artists to perform at Coachella, where
his mix of hard-hitting hip-hop and Kerala’s pounding chenda drums stunned the crowd and spread like wildfire online. This year, he returns as a headliner. If Diplo is the international coup, Hanumankind is the homegrown sensation gone global; proof that Indian rap can stand on the biggest stages and still bring the roof down in Goa.

Arena-ready live acts, Euphoria, Parvaaz, The Yellow Diary, and Thaikkudam Bridge, with a special collaborative set by MIDIval Punditz x Kutle Khan x Karsh Kale, will own the mainstage, while the Hilltop Stage will house intimate sets by Kavya Trehan, Dot & The Syllables, Raman Negi, Sudan, Yelhomie and Adi & Dishaan—delivering on soundtracks to a weekend where music, rides, art, and community all meet in Goa.

On the Main Stage:

       ● Parvaaz will explore the intersection of rock and Kashmiri motifs, creating expansive, emotive
soundscapes.
● Euphoria will bring their signature pop-rock energy, combining technical mastery with raw,
infectious chaos.
● Thaikkudam Bridge will blend classical, rock, and metal influences into performances defined
by both intensity and virtuosity.

       ● The Yellow Diary will layer indie-electronic textures into lush, immersive arrangements.
● MIDIval Punditz x Kutle Khan x Karsh Kale will weave electronic beats with classical
instrumentation, producing sets that are both experimental and unforgettable.
● Progressive Brothers will bring in a hybrid live set.
● Parimal with friends (Paal Dabba, Killa K, MC Couper, DHP) will bring in their explosive energy
with a power-packed curated set.

On the Hilltop Stage:

       ● Adi & Dishaan will perform chart-ready tracks built for communal sing-alongs.
● Kavya Trehan will deliver stripped-back, tender performances that highlight vocals and
emotion.
● Dot & The Syllables (Aditi Saigal) will present songwriting that is sharp, playful, and poetic.
● Raman Negi will carve out his solo sound with emotive, guitar-driven performances, building
on his legacy with The Local Train.
● Sudan will transform folk-rooted melodies into intricate electronic soundscapes.
● Arjun C will bring alt-pop compositions infused with the kind of guitar work that has won him
critical acclaim.
● Yelhomie will set the stage thumping with his rap, representing the unapologetic and unfiltered
voices from Imphal.

Motoverse has never been about music alone. The roar of motorcycles remains its heartbeat.
Throughout the festival, attendees will encounter custom-built rides, installations, and exhibits that
celebrate the artistry of engineering as much as their performance. Complementing this will be panels
and workshops with figures such as Nick Sanders, who has circumnavigated the globe by motorcycle
eleven times, and Vanessa Ruck, better known as The Girl on a Bike. Their stories, at once intimate and
epic, offer lessons in endurance, creativity, and the communal spirit of motorcycling.

In combining international stars, homegrown firebrands, and the thrill of pure motorcycling, Motoverse 2025 promises a weekend of music, adrenaline, and connection. Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of Vagator, Goa, the festival is as much about the people who ride, create, and celebrate together as it is about the music and machines. From November 21–23, 2025, join a community bound by curiosity, courage, and a life on two wheels. Registrations are open on District by Zomato, with early bird passes available for INR 2,499.
