September’s that sweet spot between the monsoon’s final encore and a full-blown start to Mumbai’s festive season. The weather’s mostly kinder, the evenings are made for heading out, and Mumbai’s event list is packed with enough comedy, art, live music, and nightlife to make staying home feel like a missed opportunity – and this guide’s sifted through them all to show you the best of the best.
Whether you’re planning a date night, chasing a euphoric concert, or simply looking for an excuse to explore art and history, this month’s lineup delivers. AR Rahman is set to promise a memorable evening of timeless Sufi melodies at NCPA, while Chet Faker returns with his India tour after a seven-year hiatus, adding Mumbai to his concert list. Plus, electronic music fans can lose themselves in the late-night sets from Allin Showcase and Un*Deux.
If you’ve been watching Sunil Grover play Dr Mashoor Gulati, Gutthi and Rinku in The Kapil Sharma Show on television, you wouldn’t want to miss catching him perform these characters on stage. Meanwhile, a padel singles mixer in Bandra will swap awkward small talk for friendly competition – meet new people, make new friends. For someone who loves archeology, there’s an exhibition at CSMVS about a fascinating dive into humanity’s earliest inventions – rare stone tools, prehistoric cave art and more.
So, rally your group chat and start making plans, as these are the events happening across Mumbai this September you don’t wanna miss.
