Live Music & Concerts in Kochi

Kochi's live music is spread across very different rooms. Large touring concerts use open grounds and convention venues: the lawns of Bolgatty Palace, the Lulu Bolgatty convention centre, the CIAL halls near the airport and the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium at Kadavanthra. Hotels on the Maradu bypass, including Crowne Plaza and Le Méridien, host DJ nights and candlelight concerts. JT PAC in Tripunithura and the Kerala Fine Arts Hall near the boat jetty take seated shows, from film-music orchestras to Carnatic and Hindustani recitals, and Changampuzha Park in Edappally stages free classical evenings. From November to March, temple festivals add percussion ensembles and late-night concerts. The city is also home to independent bands such as Motherjane, Thaikkudam Bridge and When Chai Met Toast.
