What Is Happening Right Now (July–August 2026)
Here is every confirmed concert running from late July through the end of August 2026, in date order:
| Date | Event | Venue | Tickets From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 Jul | Afric Vibes Festival — Mama Africa Edition | Institut Français de Maurice | Rs 700 |
| 25 Jul | The Legend Abhijeet Bhattacharya — 90s Golden Era Tour | SVICC, Pailles | Rs 1,250 |
| 25 Jul | Vergino — Live Inédit | Lakaz Cascavelle | Rs 500 |
| 25 Jul | Barachoix presents: Tribute to Avicii | Big Willy's | Rs 800 |
| 1 Aug | Feeling | Hennessy Backstage | Rs 700 |
| 1 Aug | KING en Concert | J&J Auditorium, Phoenix | Rs 600 |
| 8 Aug | Festival 5128 (20+ artist lineup) | Anjalay Coopen Stadium | Rs 700 |
| 8 Aug | Kavita Krishnamurthy — Live in Mauritius | Trianon Convention Centre | Rs 1,250 |
| 14 Aug | Désiré François & Cassiya en Live | Hennessy Park Hotel | Rs 800 |
| 15 Aug | Nuit du Zouk | Ocean's Creek Mauritius | Rs 1,500 |
| 29 Aug | Afric Vibes Festival — The Empire Africa Edition | Hennessy Park Hotel, Ebène | Rs 500 |
Kavita Krishnamurthy's 8 August date is worth flagging on its own: organisers are billing it as her first Mauritius appearance in 19 years, so expect the Trianon Convention Centre to sell out its lower tiers early.
Festival 5128 at Anjalay Coopen Stadium is the biggest single date in this window — a 20-plus artist lineup on an open-air stadium stage, the closest thing on this list to a full-scale festival rather than a single-act concert.
Concerts in Mauritius This Autumn (September–November 2026)
| Date | Event | Venue | Tickets From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Sep | Bilygane — Album Launch "Attentat" | J&J Auditorium, Phoenix | Rs 700 |
| 12 Sep | Ghetto Lovers 2k26 | JIN FEI Business Park | Rs 600 |
| 19 Sep | L'Héritage Goldman 2 (tribute show) | SVICC, Pailles | Rs 900 |
| 3 Oct | The Bollywood Magical 90s (tribute show) | MGI Moka | Rs 600 |
| 10 Oct | Sam Garrett — Live in Concert | The Green Village | Rs 1,500 |
| 1 Nov | Tous Pour Jésus (gospel) | Stade Germain Commarmond, Bambous | Rs 700 |
Two of these are tribute acts, not the original artists — L'Héritage Goldman 2 covers Jean-Jacques Goldman's catalogue, and The Bollywood Magical 90s is a tribute revue rather than a headline Bollywood star. Worth knowing before you book if you are chasing a specific name.
Looking further out, Christophe Maé already has a Mauritius date locked for 21 February 2027 at Trianon Convention Centre — early enough that tickets are worth watching if French chanson is your thing.
Ticket Price Range at a Glance
Entry-level pricing across the confirmed 2026 calendar runs from Rs 500 for a club-scale show up to Rs 1,500 for the bigger touring acts. Here is how a sample of the events above compare:
Mauritius's Recurring Annual Music Events
Beyond single-date concerts, a handful of music institutions return to the island every year. These are worth building a trip around even before the exact 2026 dates are confirmed.
Fête de la Musique — 21 June, island-wide
Mauritius, a former French territory, still marks Fête de la Musique every 21 June with free performances across Port-Louis, Rose-Hill, Réduit, Tribeca, and Cascavelle. The 2026 edition in Beau Bassin–Rose Hill ran under a new "Fet Lamizik" banner, organised jointly with the Institut Français de Maurice and the Ministry of Arts and Culture. If you are planning a Mauritius trip around live music and can only pick one free date, this is it.
Porlwi by Light — December, Port Louis
An annual light, art, and music festival running from China Town to St Georges Street in Port Louis, held every December since 2016. Free to attend. The 2026 edition is confirmed but exact dates had not been published as of this article's last update — check porlwi.com closer to the date.
MAMA JAZ — April, month-long, Port-Louis
Mauritius's home-grown jazz institution runs every Wednesday through April at the Galerie du Génie (EDITH) in Port-Louis. The 2026 edition was the 11th, themed "Natural Intelligence." It is not sega or seggae, but it is a genuine annual fixture for anyone serious about the island's live music scene.
Philharmonia Festival — February, Caudan Arts Centre and MGI
An international classical residency that returns to Mauritius most Februaries, pairing a Virtual Orchestra programme with live concerts at the Caudan Arts Centre and Mahatma Gandhi Institute. Not local genre music, but a real recurring date on the island's cultural calendar.
Festival Kréol — Rodrigues, late November to early December
Rodrigues' UNESCO-recognised séga tambour festival is the flagship event for that side of the Mauritian archipelago. The 26th edition ran 30 November to 7 December 2025; as of this update, 2026 dates for the 27th edition have not been announced yet. If you are planning around it, check with the Rodrigues Regional Assembly closer to autumn.
One honest gap: we could not find a dedicated on-island sega or seggae competition running in Mauritius itself in 2026. The closest match, the Mauritius Open Air Festival, is actually held in London as part of the UK-based Mauritian diaspora circuit, not on the island. If that changes, we will update this section.
Bollywood and International Artists Touring Mauritius
Mauritius has one of the highest proportions of Indo-Mauritian residents of any country outside India, and its concert calendar reflects that. Bollywood and Indian classical artists tour the island more consistently than acts from almost any other genre outside local sega and seggae.
Confirmed 2026 dates:
- Maithili Thakur — 17 February, SVICC, Pailles (Indian folk and classical)
- Jubin Nautiyal — 30 May, SVICC, Pailles (Bollywood playback singer)
- Abhijeet Bhattacharya — 25 July, SVICC, Pailles (Bollywood 90s playback legend)
- Kavita Krishnamurthy — 8 August, Trianon Convention Centre (first Mauritius show in 19 years)
One rumour worth correcting directly: Arijit Singh does not have a confirmed 2026 Mauritius date. His last and only verified island performance was 29 October 2023 at the Côte d'Or National Sports Complex — some ticket-resale pages still surface that listing in a way that reads as current. If a genuine 2026 date is announced, we will add it here.
Best Venues for Live Music in Mauritius
- SVICC (Swami Vivekananda International Convention Centre), Pailles — the island's go-to indoor venue for headline touring acts, especially Bollywood shows
- Anjalay Coopen Stadium — the main outdoor stadium venue for large-scale, multi-artist festival lineups
- Trianon Convention Centre — mid-to-large indoor venue, hosts both concerts and conferences
- Caudan Arts Centre — smaller, arts-focused venue, home to classical and jazz programming
- J&J Auditorium, Phoenix — mid-size indoor venue for single-act shows
- Hennessy Park Hotel and Hennessy Backstage, Ebène — hotel-based venue for smaller live sets
- Lakaz Cascavelle — intimate live-music venue, favoured for local sega and seggae acts
How to Buy Concert Tickets in Mauritius Safely
Every event listed in this article traces back to its original organiser page rather than a resale site — that is the safest way to buy. In practice, most Mauritius concerts sell through one of two platforms:
- otayo.com — the island's main events listing and ticketing platform, used by most of the venues above
- ticketbox.mu — used for several of the larger SVICC and Trianon shows
Buy directly from the event's own listing page rather than a shared social media repost. Prices, dates, and even venues occasionally change after the first announcement, and only the organiser's own page reflects the latest version.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Fête de la Musique in Mauritius?
Every year on 21 June. Mauritius, a former French territory, still marks the date with free performances across Port-Louis, Rose-Hill, Réduit, Tribeca, and Cascavelle.
Is Arijit Singh performing in Mauritius in 2026?
No confirmed 2026 date exists. His only verified Mauritius show was 29 October 2023 at the Côte d'Or National Sports Complex. Some listing pages still display that date in a way that can look current, so always check the organiser's own site before booking around a rumour.
Are there sega or seggae festivals held in Mauritius itself?
We found no dedicated on-island sega or seggae competition running in Mauritius in 2026. The closest-named event, the Mauritius Open Air Festival, is held in London as part of the UK Mauritian diaspora circuit rather than on the island.
Where can I buy concert tickets in Mauritius?
Most concerts sell through otayo.com or ticketbox.mu, depending on the venue. Always buy from the event's own organiser page rather than a reposted social media link, as details can change after the first announcement.
How much do concert tickets cost in Mauritius?
Entry-tier tickets for the confirmed 2026 calendar run from about Rs 500 for a club-scale show to Rs 1,500 for larger touring acts. Bollywood headliners at SVICC and Trianon typically start around Rs 1,250 and rise through several seating tiers, with premium and VIP tiers reaching Rs 2,650.
