Nykaaland is Coming to Delhi — 7 Reasons You Cannot Miss Beauty’s Biggest Festival (Nov 7–9, 2025)

Delhi, beauty fam — the moment you’ve been manifesting is finally here.

After two sold-out, star-studded, scroll-breaking editions in Mumbai, Nykaaland is officially landing in Delhi-NCR from November 7th to 9th, 2025, at NSIC Grounds, Okhla — and it’s about to be the cultural moment of the season.

Co-produced by Nykaa and BookMyShow Live, Nykaaland isn’t just a beauty festival — it’s a playground where beauty, music, fashion, culture, and community collide. Whether you’re a skincare scientist, a glam maximalist, a Bare Minimum Dewy Girl, or just someone who likes good music and good energy, this is where your people will be.So let’s get into the why — here are the top reasons you (and your entire group chat) need to be there:

1. The Biggest Names in Beauty Are Landing in Delhi

For the first time, some of the world’s most prestigious beauty houses are sharing the stage — and your vanity is about to thank you. Dolce&Gabbana Beauty, Rabanne, Carolina Herrera, and YSL Beauty are arriving with their couture-powered palettes, signature fragrances, and runway-approved red-carpet staples.

But that’s not all — the cult kids are rolling in too. Viral favourites like TIRTIR, MILK Makeup, and IT Cosmetics are popping up with the formulas and textures that have been living rent-free in your saved folders for months. This is the beauty haul of your dreams turned real. Imagine that feeling when you finally swatch the lipstick you’ve only seen in 4K on Instagram. Yes. Exactly. Goosebumps.

2. A Beauty Wonderland of Over 60 Global and Homegrown Brands

Nykaaland is bringing more than 60 global and Indian brands together under one open sky — and it’s the closest you’ll get to living inside your Pinterest moodboard. From Seoul’s most talked-about skincare…hello, Laneige, Innisfree, Sulwhasoo, Beauty of Joseon, Pyunkang Yul, Anua, and more, to shelf staples your bathroom already loves – think Bath & Body Works, Olay, Cetaphil, Avène, Lancôme and the homegrown heroes changing the game including Kay Beauty, RENÉE Cosmetics, Minimalist, Dot & Key, Swiss Beauty, and more. 

Whether you’re a clinical-ingredients girlie, a maximalist sparkle enthusiast, or a no-makeup-makeup purist, there’s something here that’s going to become your next holy grail.

3. Learn from the Beauty Legends Behind Bollywood’s Most Iconic Looks

This is not about watching someone do makeup on stage from a distance. Nykaaland’s Masterclasses put you front and center with the artists who define beauty in India today. You get to learn hands-on from the greats — Namrata Soni, the force behind India’s most romantic bridal looks; Daniel Bauer, the magic-maker behind Katrina Kaif’s camera-proof glam; Meera Sakhrani, the bridal makeup artist whose work is bookmarked across bride Pinterest boards nationwide; and Mehak Oberoi, the genius behind Kiara Advani’s glass-skin glow at the Met Gala.

Imagine actually learning their techniques, shade tricks, and finish secrets — directly from them. This is your VIP pass to leveling up your beauty skills in real time.

4. A Music Lineup That’s Here to Soundtrack Your Feelings

Because glam and music are besties. The Nykaaland stage this year covers every mood and every emotional arc. Prateek Kuhad is bringing crowd-wide sing-alongs that feel like therapy in stereo, while Jonita Gandhi is set to flip from Bollywood-pop brilliance to indie sparkle without missing a beat.

And when Panjabi MC drops Mundiyan To Bachke Rahi, we already know what’s about to happen — the crowd will scream, jump, and collectively ascend. With DJs like MoCity, Gini, Dot and Dynamite Disco Club Soundsystem keeping the beats alive, this is a musical moodboard of softness, sass, nostalgia, and absolute dance-floor chaos.

5. A Festival That’s Built to Be Experienced — Not Just Attended

Nykaaland is not just booths and stages. It’s an entire sensory playground. Expect interactive beauty installations, concept photo zones made for your photo dumps, cultural showcases, experimental art, gourmet food corners and, of course, beauty sampling like never before.

Over 5 million+ samples have already been given out across previous editions. You’re not just attending — you’re stepping inside a world that celebrates creativity, community, and self-expression in its most joyful form.

6. Delhi, This Festival Was Always Yours

If there’s one city where a beauty festival deserves to bloom, it’s Delhi. The capital is already a fashion moodboard — home to trendsetters, creators, designers, makeup artists, and beauty enthusiasts who don’t just follow aesthetics; they build them. Nykaaland arriving in Delhi is more than a geographical shift — it’s a celebration of the city’s unapologetic, experimental, high-energy beauty identity.

7. Tickets Are Live — and Yes, They Will Sell Out

Passes are available exclusively on BookMyShow. Whether you go for a Single-Day GA Pass, the 3-Day Season Pass, the Fab Four squad bundle, or the Namrata Soni VIP Masterclass Pass, the goal is simple — get them before they’re gone. Because they will be.

This is your sign — gather your glam fam, your skincare-obsessed bestie, your bride-to-be cousin, your music buddy, and your mirror-selfie gang – Nykaaland is calling.

Delhi, November 7th–9th, 2025. See you there…and for more such amazing experience make sure you follow @things2doindelhi
