The Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival (KRBF) 2026 is set to return to the scenic hills of Himachal Pradesh, continuing its legacy as one of India’s most unique music-led philanthropic events. Scheduled for April 3–4, 2026, the two-day festival will take place at the picturesque Baikunth Resorts in Kasauli, offering a blend of live music, community engagement, and social impact.
Conceptualised by the Genesis Foundation, the festival has evolved into a flagship cultural property that combines entertainment with a strong charitable purpose. Since its inception in 2012, KRBF has been dedicated to raising funds for the treatment of underprivileged children suffering from congenital heart defects, making it a music festival with a cause at its core.
Set against the backdrop of the Himalayas, the festival is known for its intimate yet vibrant atmosphere, attracting music lovers, philanthropists, and artists alike. Over the years, it has built a reputation for curating a diverse mix of genres including pop, rock, blues, jazz, indie, and Bollywood-influenced music, featuring both established names and emerging talent.
The 2026 edition marks a significant milestone as the festival celebrates its 10th edition, further cementing its position as a much-anticipated annual gathering. Gates will open at 3 PM on both days, with performances running through the evening in a format designed to offer a relaxed yet immersive musical experience.
Beyond the music, KRBF stands out for its community-driven ethos. Attendees not only get access to live performances and curated festival experiences but also contribute directly to a life-saving cause. Proceeds from ticket sales and on-ground donations go entirely towards funding critical medical treatments, reinforcing the festival’s “music for a cause” philosophy.
With its combination of soulful performances, mountain setting, and meaningful impact, the Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival continues to redefine the live music experience,where every note played contributes to a larger purpose.
