HYBE India has announced a large-scale audition initiative, unveiling a 15-city global tour along with a series of pop-up activations aimed at engaging emerging talent. The auditions will take place between May and July 2026, spanning multiple cities across India and key international locations.
The tour will begin in Guwahati on May 3, followed by Indian cities including Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Bengaluru through May. It will then expand globally with stops in Toronto, New York, Singapore, Sydney and London, before returning to India for Delhi, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Chandigarh through July.
According to the organisers, the auditions will be judged by HYBE’s global talent development experts alongside Indian entertainment professionals. The focus will be on identifying “raw talent, genuine artistry, and long-term potential,” rather than just polished performances, with the aim of discovering artists who can represent India internationally.

In addition to auditions, HYBE India will host “Pop-up Parks” across six Indian cities Guwahati, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Delhi. These interactive spaces are designed to engage young audiences through music, performance and creative activities, even if they are not auditioning. The activations will include experiential booths, interactive installations and surprise performances in select locations.
Participants can pre-book audition and pop-up slots via BookMyShow, while walk-in registrations will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The initiative is supported by multiple brand collaborations. Samsung’s “Show them how it’s done #withGalaxy” campaign aims to encourage young performers, while H&M focuses on self-expression through fashion. Other partners include Nongshim SHIN RAMYUN, Shoppers Stop, Snapchat and BookMyShow.
The auditions are open to female participants born between 2005 and 2011 from India and the global diaspora. The programme is part of HYBE India’s broader vision to develop a globally competitive girl group representing diverse Indian voices.
