Music Festivals in Nepal

Nepal packs a surprising amount into a short festival calendar. Autumn belongs to Jazzmandu, the week-long Kathmandu Jazz Festival that turns clubs and the Gokarna forest into stages every October–November. December swings the other way with Silence Festival, the country's loudest metal gathering. In between, lakeside sets in Pokhara and EDM and pop weekenders round out a year that has a lot more going on than most visitors expect.

This page pulls together the multi-day festivals — dates, line-ups and tickets — as they're confirmed. For single-night shows, browse live music in Kathmandu and upcoming concerts, or see every music event across the valley.

Frequently asked questions

Jazzmandu — the Kathmandu Jazz Festival — usually runs for about a week in late October or early November. It's spread across multiple Kathmandu venues rather than one field: club nights at Jazz Upstairs and the Gokarna forest, the big Jazz Bazaar concert at Gokarna, plus workshops and the closing Jazzmandu Finale. Exact dates shift year to year, so confirmed editions appear on this page as soon as they're announced.
