How the trip works
At Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai, from 4 pm on 18 December to 10 pm on 19 December 2026, in a two-day format. Private jets land at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (VABB) or Navi Mumbai (VANM); helicopters use Juhu Aerodrome.
Sunburn was held at Vagator in Goa from 2019 to 2024 and moved to Mumbai in 2025. For its second Mumbai edition the organisers have moved it to Mahalaxmi Racecourse and cut it to two days, with DJ Snake, The Chainsmokers and Sebastian Ingrosso announced.
Mumbai (CSMIA) has about 24 general aviation parking spots and requires slots and handling, so we secure parking with the jet. Navi Mumbai International, open since 25 December 2025, has handled private aircraft from its first day; its dedicated private jet terminal was due in September 2026.

Mahalaxmi Racecourse
The racecourse covers about 225 acres in central Mumbai. It has been used as a helipad, but during the festival it is the venue, so plan on landing at an airport and finishing by car.
The 2026 edition is two days, from 4 pm on 18 December to 10 pm on 19 December, with a closing party at NSCI Dome on 20 December. Tickets are sold by the organiser; we arrange the flights and transfers.
