How often is this live music calendar updated?

Daily. New gigs, concerts and DJ nights are added the moment organisers and venues post them, so this page always reflects what's actually confirmed and coming up in Kathmandu — not last month's listings.

Is there live music in Kathmandu on weeknights?

Yes — Kathmandu has live music almost every night. Weekdays lean toward acoustic sets, open mics and jam nights, while weekends bring out touring acts, ticketed concerts and the biggest DJ lineups.

Are there free live music gigs in Kathmandu?

Plenty. Open mics, student showcases and no-cover acoustic nights run through the week across Thamel and Pulchowk. Browse the free events pages to see which upcoming gigs are no-cover.

What kinds of live music can I see in Kathmandu?

The mix runs deep — acoustic singer-songwriters, rock and metal, hip-hop showcases, jazz and lounge, traditional Newari and folk, electronic and DJ residencies, plus touring South Asian and international acts.

Live Music in Kathmandu

Kathmandu runs on live music. On any given night the valley has something on — an acoustic singer-songwriter in a Thamel basement, a jazz trio in Jhamsikhel, a touring headliner on Durbarmarg, a traditional Newari set in a Patan courtyard, or a DJ residency that stretches till sunrise. This is the full, always-current calendar of every upcoming gig, concert and DJ night across the city.
