Milap announce second wave of artists for INDIKA 2025

Milap have announced the second wave of events for their festival of Indian Arts & Culture, INDIKA 2025. The 15 day celebration of Indian music, dance and culture, will take place from 17th – 31st October over the entire Liverpool City Region, bringing the best of Indian arts to an even wider audience.


Chiming with Milap’s 40 year anniversary, the INDIKA festival will feature a programme of Indian music and dance, ranging from cutting-edge contemporary to deeply rooted traditional forms, plus yoga, poetry, storytelling and participatory activities for all the family. Events will take place across iconic Liverpool City Region venues, including The Tung Auditorium, Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room, Future Yard, The Storybarn and more to be announced soon.

INDIKA showcases the best of contemporary Indian Arts and Culture, presenting a bold and varied programme that celebrates India’s diverse cultural traditions. With Diwali falling on 20th October this year, Milap’s Diwali celebrations will feature as a centrepiece of this year’s INDIKA.

Audiences won’t just watch and listen to performances – they’ll feel them. With music, dance, food and storytelling from across India, INDIKA offers a multi-sensory experience that brings people together through culture and leaves audiences moved.
