Bangalore Open Air is all set to return next year, one of the highly revered events in India. The 11th edition of the Bangalore Open Air is slated to take place on February 9 and 10, 2024 in Bengaluru, India.

The organizers have also revealed the full line-up of the 2024 edition of the festival, which features some biggest names in the international heavy music scene. Starting from Polish death metallers Decapitated, to Swedish black metal icons Watain, to the Swiss all-female heavy metal band Burning Witches, and Ankor from Spain.
