Jhamsikhel Sessions returns this November with 12 independent acts

The Jhamsikhel Sessions — the open-air showcase that has quietly become one of the best places to discover new Nepali music — returns on 21–22 November for its fourth edition.

The line-up

Twelve independent acts will play across two nights, including:

• Sunita Gurung with a full folk-fusion ensemble
• The Kathmandu Drift, previewing songs from Loadshedding Lullabies
• Maya Thapa's first-ever live band set
• A late-night DJ set from Bhairav Beats

Tickets and access

Early-bird passes are available now, with a limited number of free student tickets released every Friday. The venue is step-free, and a quiet zone will be available for anyone who needs a break from the crowd.

"The idea has always been simple: give new artists a real stage and a real sound system." — organiser Anisha Karki

Melophile is a media partner for this year's edition and will be publishing interviews with the artists in the run-up to the festival.
