Raja Kumari To Headline Ocha Music Festival 2025 In Kochi

Kochi is getting its own big moment in Indian hip hop. Ocha Music Festival 2025 is set to return with a new, upgraded edition, and this year, rapper and global Indian icon Raja Kumari will headline the Ocha x Spotify Rap 91 stage. The festival will be held at The Grounds at Chakolas Mill in Kalamassery, bringing live rap, hip hop and alternative sounds to one of Kerala’s most exciting cultural hubs.

Raja Kumari’s presence at Ocha marks a strong cultural crossover. Known for her fierce lyrics, genre bending sound and high impact live performances, she has built a reputation as one of the most important Indian voices in global hip hop. From international collaborations to charting singles, she represents a generation of artists who move comfortably between India and the world while staying rooted in identity and storytelling. Her headlining set in Kochi signals how seriously Ocha is taking the rap and street music movement.

The Ocha x Spotify Rap 91 stage is dedicated to Indian hip hop and will feature a line up that cuts across languages, styles and regions. Along with Raja Kumari, the stage is expected to host some of the most exciting names in desi rap, including regional voices who are pushing the sound forward from the ground up. The idea is simple but powerful – give hip hop its own proper space at a large format festival in Kerala, and let the culture speak for itself.

Beyond the rap stage, Ocha Music Festival has quickly become known for its mix of music, community and local flavour. Food, art, pop ups and a carefully curated vibe are all part of the experience. For fans, it is a rare chance to watch artists they usually stream on headphones, live in front of them with full stage energy, lights and crowd response.
