Kappa CULTR 2025: 100+ artists, limitless possibilities and a festival like no other!
A three-day celebration of music, art, fashion, games, movement, dance, food, and people, where different cultures come together and a lifetime of memories are made. A place to meet new people, try new things, and be yourself, without the fear of judgment. Welcome to Kappa CULTR 2025, happening at Bolgatty Palace, Kochi, on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of January!
CULTR 2025 features over 100 artists—both international and homegrown talents. The music lineup brings globally renowned electronic music artists like Victor Ruiz, Giorgia Angiuli, Hannes Bieger, Roman Kyn, Ash Roy, Browncoat, Hamza Rahimtula, Calm Chor, Sindhi Curry, and more. Collaborations with IPs such as Funk’n Around, Soupherb Records, and Maushi further add dimension to the festival’s soundscape.
But CULTR is not just about music. It is also about community, creativity, and collaboration. Artists from various creative fields are bringing their unique visions to life, curating immersive experiences across art, fashion, games, movement, dance, and food.
Art culture is curated and executed by three incredible collectives. Karthik SS, along with his team at 108 Collective, has designed the Kappa Stage with a towering 20-foot sculpture of the festival mascot—The Masked Being. Shanto Antony and his team at Lost Kids Garage redefine perceptions of trash through art installations and other engaging activities. Their key installation “Aa Kadhayalla Ee Kadha” is a thought-provoking attempt at turning discarded objects into creative pieces, inspiring people to search for meaning in what may otherwise seem meaningless. Eric Edward from Pachakuth Tattoo Studio and his team are set to get people drawing and creating art, encouraging everyone to embrace the joy of creating without worrying about making mistakes.
Dance curator Janani Kalasutra and her talented team will bring the stage alive with performances, dance games, and interactive learning experiences. Fashion, under the creative direction of Zesty, will blend high fashion with traditional elements, creating a stunning visual spectacle that celebrates both pop and culture.
Culinary experiences at CULTR will be a feast for the senses, led by Alex Jo Scaria of the Instagram page eatlikejo, who presents “East Meets West”—a creative interplay of Southeast Asian and Western flavours. For those looking for fun and challenge, Bheegaran presents games that everyone knows, with a Kappa twist, which can be played for rewards like gifts, coupons, and other exciting freebies. Movement culture, led by Gokul Krishnan, gives attendees the chance to watch and participate in movement sports and art forms like slacklining, flow arts, and more.
With a diverse range of activities, performances, and experiences, Kappa CULTR 2025 promises to be a celebration of all things creative. There is something for everyone, so join us at Bolgatty Palace, Kochi, on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of January for an unforgettable weekend of music, art, culture, and more!
