The Kitty Su Pop Up IP lands at 24/7 Bar, The LaLiT New Delhi, with music, performance, and immersive wedding aesthetics
New Delhi, January 2026: Delhi’s nightlife will host a distinctive cultural moment this month as Pure Love’s Fake Wedding arrives in the capital, bringing a queer reimagining of the Indian shaadi to the city. The event will take place on 17 January at The LaLiT New Delhi, with the celebration unfolding at the hotel’s 24/7 Bar.
Conceptualised as a travelling cultural IP, Pure Love’s Fake Wedding has previously toured cities including Mumbai, Jaipur, Kolkata, and Chandigarh. The event blends performance, ritual, and nightlife into an immersive experience that reworks traditional wedding elements through a queer lens. From a dhol-led baraat and curated décor to mehendi artists and reimagined ceremonies, the evening draws on familiar wedding aesthetics while reframing them as spaces of visibility and inclusion.
The Delhi edition is being presented in collaboration with Rainbow India and Rainbow Delhi, extending the event’s community-driven ethos. At its core, the Fake Wedding functions as both celebration and commentary, creating room for queer joy and collective expression in a country where same-sex marriage does not yet have legal recognition.
The night’s music and performance line-up features Veronica, Lush Monsoon, Fardish, Betta Naan Stop, Wacker Cracker, Hash Brownie, and Mysterious Munda, with DJ Triangle Edge guiding the evening’s progression from reflective moments to high-energy dancefloor sets. Together, the performances are designed to mirror the emotional arc of a wedding, moving from ritual to revelry.
The choice of venue carries added significance. The LaLiT New Delhi has long been recognised as an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, making it a fitting host for an event that centres queer narratives within mainstream cultural forms. By situating the Fake Wedding within a prominent hospitality space, the organisers aim to broaden the visibility of queer-led cultural expression within the city’s nightlife ecosystem.
Pure Love’s Fake Wedding opens its doors at 9 PM and is ticketed through SkillBox and Sort My Scene, with entry priced from ₹759. As the event makes its Delhi debut, it adds to the growing presence of queer cultural programming within the capital, positioning nightlife as a space for both celebration and social dialogue.
