IFP SEASON 15

What Is RADA Festival 2026 and Why Everyone Is Talking About It?

RADA Festival is Maharashtra’s first Marathi pop culture festival, bringing internet culture and live performances together.

The festival was organised by Bharatiya Digital Party, popularly known as BhaDiPa, a leading Marathi content platform.

The 2026 edition took place in Pune, turning the city into a buzzing hub of music, comedy and creator led shows.

RADA was created to give Marathi creators, artists and performers a stage that truly represents their culture and voice.

What audiences usually see on reels and YouTube came alive on stage, making it a unique offline experience.

From rappers and musicians to comedians and digital creators, the festival brought together diverse talent under one roof.

One of the biggest highlights was the spotlight on Marathi hip hop, with energetic performances taking over the stage.

The festival also included live conversations, creator interactions and immersive experiences for fans.

RADA 2026 shows how regional content is no longer on the sidelines, it is shaping the future of mainstream culture.
