Reference To Hindustan times. Elevated folk-metal band Bloodywood, based in Delhi, is gearing to one of the most important and emotionally-laden milestones in its musical career, the opening act in Bengaluru on 23rd January 2026 in front of the legendary rock band Linkin Park. To the three, this is not just another big concert, but a very personal, nostalgic one, and a symbol of their development.

An Incident That Strikes Too Near Home.

Jayant Bhadula, the frontman, has said that it seems like a complete circle to play before one of the most iconic names in the genre of nu-metal, Linkin Park. Bloodywood members have been raised on the music of Linkin Park, which inspired them by their uncivilized energy, lyrics, and the break-through style that formed the sound of the 2000s. Jayant stressed the importance of the fact that in their teenage, all of them needed something to motivate, comfort, or identify with the music of Linkin Park.

He included that the musical identity of the band, which uses a fusion of metal and Indian folk, bears some traces of influence that Linkin Park has had on the rock culture of the world. Upon receiving the news of the opening slot, Jayant stated that it gave the three individuals a fire, which made them remember the drive and the intention that led them to music in the first place.

A Dream Realised for the Band

Talking about the opportunity, Jayant stated that it was a very big moment because they finally shared the stage with musicians whom they had placed posters on their bedroom walls previously. Bloodywood has already toured Europe, the United States and Asian countries and gained international fame thanks to their sound that is unusual. However, this very performance has a special emotional coloring, it is almost an individual victory, opened by years of hard work and struggle.

He said that the band is making the Bengaluru performance with pure love, euphoria, and the same passion they used to listen to Linkin Park in their childhood. To them, it is not just another concert, but a party of their journey.

It was a historic moment in the eyes of the fans of Indian music.

The Bengaluru concert will take place just two days before Linkin Park headlines Lollapalooza India in Mumbai, marking the American group’s first‑ever live performances in the country. As such, being placed as the opening slot in Bloodywood puts them in a historic lineup, connecting their roots in the local area to the global music tradition.

Known as a combination of heavy riffs, dhol beats, and socially conscious lyrics, Bloodywood is steadily growing its fan base at an international level. However, it is the moment, Jayant remarked, that feels wholesome, meaningful, and extremely special.

According to him, We are just very, very excited to play the stage with them.
