From large open-ground shows to performances at Phoenix Mall of Asia - including much-searched events like a King concert - North Bangalore hosts some of the city's biggest live events. This guide covers the main venues, how to get there and why Hebbal works well as a base.

Main event venues in and around North Bangalore

Phoenix Mall of Asia, Bellary Road

Palace Grounds, Jayamahal

One of Bangalore's best-known open grounds for large concerts, festivals and exhibitions, located between the city centre and Hebbal. From Hebbal it is usually a 20-40 minute drive depending on traffic.

Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Tumkur Road

Travel tips for big events

  • Check official event pages for gate timings, entry rules and parking information - these vary by event.
  • Leave earlier than you think. Bellary Road and the Hebbal flyover are busy in the evenings, and event traffic adds to it.
  • Plan your return. Cab prices surge after large shows. Agree a pick-up point slightly away from the main exit.
  • Buy tickets only from official sellers. Avoid resale offers on social media.

Why Hebbal is a good base for concert-goers

Hebbal sits at the junction of Bellary Road and the Outer Ring Road, so Phoenix Mall of Asia is minutes away, Palace Grounds is reachable without crossing the whole city, and the airport is about 30-40 minutes away for your flight home.
