Badshah And KR$NA Named Music Headliners For MLBx: Mumbai 2026

Badshah and KR$NA have been announced as the music headliners for MLBx: Mumbai 2026, bringing two distinct voices from Indian hip-hop to Major League Baseball’s live entertainment programme in India.

The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the Mumbai Football Arena, Andheri Sports Complex. MLBx: Mumbai will bring together baseball, live music, interactive fan experiences and entertainment as part of a one-day experience for fans. Tickets are currently available exclusively on BookMyShow.

The musical line-up will see Badshah and KR$NA bring their contrasting sounds to the arena. Badshah will deliver his signature sound and high-energy stage presence, with fans able to look forward to popular tracks including “DJ Waley Babu,” “Genda Phool” and “Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai.” KR$NA, meanwhile, will showcase the sharp lyricism and intensity that have established him as one of Indian hip-hop’s distinctive voices, with tracks such as “Machayenge 4,” “No Cap” and “I Guess” potentially featuring in his set.

Adding to the music programme, DJ OG Shez will bring her high-energy sets to the stage, with fans potentially hearing crowd favourites such as “Mera Piya Ghar Aaya 2.0” and “Chaleya (DJ Remix).” Together, the artists will add an Indian musical dimension to the MLBx experience.

At the heart of the event is MLBx, Major League Baseball’s mixed 3-on-3 competition featuring power hitting, athletic defensive plays and fast-paced gameplay. Making its India debut, MLBx: Mumbai will feature India’s T20 World Cup-winning captain and MLB Ambassador Suryakumar Yadav, alongside former MLB All-Stars Nick Swisher and Adrián González. More participants are expected to be announced soon.

Anil Makhija, COO - Live Entertainment & Venues, BookMyShow said, “We see the most compelling live experiences as those that give audiences something new to discover and experience together. MLBx Mumbai 2026 brings that to life by combining the excitement of Major League Baseball with a strong live music line-up featuring Badshah and KR$NA, creating a unique intersection of sport and entertainment. As MLBx’s first-ever event in India, it offers audiences a new way to experience a globally celebrated sport while bringing sports and music fans together around a shared live experience. We are excited to be part of this first-of-its-kind cultural moment in India.”

The performances add to the growing presence of baseball in India and are part of RISE Worldwide’s collaboration with Major League Baseball to introduce Indian audiences to the sport through world-class sporting and entertainment programming.

MLBx: Mumbai marks an important step in Major League Baseball’s efforts to grow the game and connect with new audiences in India. Alongside fast-paced gameplay and live performances by Badshah and KR$NA, the event will feature interactive fan experiences and classic ballpark food with a local twist.

By bringing together baseball, music and entertainment, MLBx: Mumbai aims to showcase the excitement and culture of the sport while creating an experience tailored to Mumbai’s vibrant sporting and entertainment landscape. Additional programming and event details will be announced in the coming weeks.
