Deepika Seth Qisse Kal Ke Live Show

Deepika Seth is bringing “Qisse Kal Ke” to Mumbai on April 26 as a live show at Harkat Studios, framing her upcoming album as an intimate performance piece. (bandsintown.com) The event listing bills it as “Qisse Kal Ke with Deepika Seth & Friends,” not just a concert but a set built from music, poetry and storytelling. The format turns the album’s material into a staged narrative rather than a straight song recital. (bandsintown.com) Ticketing pages for earlier shows say the project follows a semi-autobiographical arc through love, heartbreak and personal growth. They describe the central figure as a woman learning to dream “without restraint” while moving through city life and emotional change. (bandsintown.com) (townscript.com) Seth is a Mumbai-based singer, songwriter and ghazal artist who says her work draws from Hindustani classical training, Urdu poetry, jazz, indie folk, dream pop and retro Bollywood. That mix helps explain why “Qisse Kal Ke” is being pitched as both contemporary songwriting and a nod to Hindi film music’s older melodic style. (townscript.com) The album itself is described as an archive of the past few years, shaped by “quiet reflections, fleeting joys, heartbreaks, and unexpected healing.” In the live version, those songs are presented in the spirit of a baithak, an intimate gathering where listeners sit close to the performer and the words carry as much weight as the arrangement. (townscript.com) That framing places the show in a growing lane of Indian independent performance where artists blur the boundary between gig, poetry reading and narrative theatre. Seth’s own project leans into that hybrid form by centering not only songs but the spoken emotional world around them. (bandsintown.com) (townscript.com) “Qisse Kal Ke” has been circulating as a live property since at least October 2025, when Seth performed it in New Delhi at Depot48. Those listings cast 2025-26 as the period leading into her debut album release, suggesting the stage show is part of how she is introducing the record before or alongside its full rollout. (townscript.com) Seth’s released catalog is still small but specific. Spotify lists her debut single “Kahin Duur” from 2023 and a 2025 piano version with Harsh Karmakar, giving “Qisse Kal Ke” a recorded backstory as well as a live one.
