HYBE INDIA today unveiled the next phase of its auditions, including in-person audition tour details alongside a series of pop-up activations designed to engage and support emerging talent.
The audition tour will take place from May to July 2026, spanning 15 cities across India and around the world. The tour will begin with Guwahati on May 03, followed by key stops including Mumbai (May 10), Pune (May 17), Hyderabad (May 24), and Bengaluru (May 31). The tour will extend to global cities such as Toronto (May 23-24), New York (May 30), Singapore (June 13), Sydney (June 20), and London (July 4-5), before continuing across Indian cities including Delhi (June 14), Chennai (June 27), Ahmedabad (July 11), Kolkata (July 18), and Chandigarh (July 25).
The in-person auditions will be evaluated by a distinguished panel comprising HYBE’s global talent development experts—who have been at the forefront of casting and developing some of the world’s most celebrated music acts—alongside India’s seasoned entertainment professionals, selected for their deep understanding of local talent and culture. Together, the panel is positioned to identify artists who can authentically represent India on the global stage. Candidates will be assessed beyond surface-level polish, with a focus on raw talent, genuine artistry, and long-term potential.
Participants can pre-book slots for both auditions and Pop-up Parks via BookMyShow, with detailed schedules and participation guidelines for each city to be released sequentially on HYBE INDIA’s official audition website and social media channels. Walk-in registrations will also be available at in-person audition venues on a first-come, first-served basis.
At the heart of the HYBE INDIA Audition is a belief that India’s teens and young adults deserve a meaningful, world-class platform for their ambitions—and the Pop-up Parks are designed to bring that spirit to life.
Held across six cities—Guwahati, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Delhi—in the lead-up to the audition dates, these open, interactive spaces invite young audiences to engage with music, performance, and creative expression, regardless of whether they are participating in the auditions. Each Pop-up Park will feature experiential booths from brand partners, interactive activations, and surprise stage performances in select cities—creating an accessible and immersive extension of the audition journey.
