Plini India Tour 2026: Dates, Cities & Full Tour Record

Quick answer: The Plini India Tour 2026 was a four-city run by Australian instrumental progressive rock guitarist Plini, part of his global An Unnameable Desire World Tour, in support of his April 2026 album of the same name. The tour covered Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Bengaluru between July 29 and August 2, 2026, ticketed through SkillBox.

This was Plini's first time playing Kolkata, extending a tour footprint that previously covered only Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.

Plini — the Sydney-based instrumental progressive rock guitarist, composer, and producer — toured India as part of his An Unnameable Desire World Tour, supporting his studio album An Unnameable Desire, released in April 2026. The India leg was presented as a LiveBox production with SkillBox handling ticketing.

Guitarist Steve Vai has previously described Plini's playing as pointing toward the future of the instrument — one of several endorsements from established prog and metal guitarists that has followed Plini through his career.

This wasn't Plini's first time in the country — it was his fourth. That history matters for context:

• 2018: Plini's India debut, on the back of his Sunhead EP
• 2019: Return visit as his catalog and following grew
• 2022: The Parrhesia tour, covering Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, including a widely remembered Delhi NCR show at Imperfecto Patio in Gurugram; that same year he also played the second LiveBox Festival in Mumbai alongside Taba Chake and The Yellow Diary
• 2026: This four-city run, his biggest and most geographically spread India tour to date, adding Kolkata for the first time

His discography includes the debut album Impulse Voices (2020) and earlier fan-favorite material such as "Electric Sunrise," "Selenium Forest," and "Every Piece Matters" — tracks that have historically featured in his live sets alongside whatever new album he's touring.

Tickets for all four shows are/were sold through SkillBox (skillboxes.com — Plini Live New Album Tour 2026 listing), India's platform for concerts and live events. Pricing tiers, remaining availability, and any entry/cover-charge policies are set independently by each venue and change as shows approach — check the SkillBox listing for your specific city rather than relying on a fixed number, since ticket tiers on platforms like this typically increase as an event gets closer.

At the time of the tour announcement, opening acts for the India shows had not been officially confirmed by organizers. If you're looking for the exact support lineup per city, check the SkillBox event page or Plini's official Instagram closer to (or on) the show date — we're not going to guess at names here, since we couldn't independently verify a lineup for this specific run.

Plini's music sits at the intersection of instrumental progressive rock, jazz fusion, and technically dense modern metal — closer to melodic, groove-driven prog than the more aggressive end of djent/math metal, though it draws from both worlds. If you're new to him, his 2016 debut album Handmade Cities is the commonly recommended starting point.
