Mumbai, July 28
Pop-rock band The Yellow Diary has announced its biggest India tour yet, 'In Case We Forget', which will travel across 15 cities between August and October.
The tour will begin in Bengaluru on August 29 and will feature a brand-new live set, bringing together the band's latest music with fan favourites such as 'Marz', 'Buniyaad', 'Roz Roz', 'Kahe Kahe', 'Rab Raakha' and 'Mujhe Mere Naam Se'. One of the biggest highlights of the tour is that, for the first time, fans will get to hear all nine of the band's newest songs performed live together, as per the press release.
Travelling across 15 cities between August and October, the tour kicks off in Bengaluru on August 29 before making its way across the country. The tour will also mark The Yellow Diary's performances in cities including Ahmedabad and Kolkata, while also visiting Indore, Bhopal, Jaipur and Dehradun. According to the band, the new show will feature fresh arrangements and surprises while blending their newer music with songs audiences have enjoyed over the years.
Speaking about the tour, the band said in a statement, "You know when something really fun happens and you can't wait to tell your friends? That's exactly what this tour feels like to us. In Case We Forget is our way of sharing this chapter with our TYD family. It'll be the first time we're performing all nine songs together live, and it's been really exciting to figure out how the new music and the songs people have been singing with us for years can all come together as one experience. We honestly can't wait to get back on the road and share it with everyone."
The announcement comes after a milestone year for the five-member band, which performed more than 60 shows across India and crossed 150 million streams across its catalogue.
Comprising Rajan Batra, Himonshu Parikh, Harshvardhan Gadhvi, Stuart DaCosta and Sahil Shah, The Yellow Diary is known for blending poetry with contemporary pop-rock sounds through songs including 'Marz', 'Buniyaad' and 'Roz Roz'.

Love that they're including smaller cities like Indore and Bhopal! Most bands just do Delhi-Mumbai-Bangalore and call it a 'national tour'. And all nine new songs live? That's worth the ticket price alone. Can't wait for the Kolkata show. 🎵
Honestly, their music is growing on me but I wish they'd experiment more with their sound. 'Roz Roz' is great but sometimes feels repetitive. Still, 150 million streams is no joke - they're clearly doing something right. Will check out the Dehradun show. 🇮🇳
As someone who discovered them through Spotify, it's amazing to see Indian indie getting this kind of reach. The band's energy is infectious. 'Marz' still gives me chills. Kudos to the team for pulling off 60+ shows last year - that's insane dedication! 🤘
The name 'In Case We Forget' is so poetic - it's like they're reminding us to hold onto moments and memories. Their music always feels personal. Would've loved a Chennai date though... maybe next time? 💔 Still, happy for the band and their growth!
Saw them at a college fest last year and they were brilliant live! The fact that they're blending new songs with old favourites shows they care about the audience experience. Also, Rajan's voice is just... wow. Counting days for the Bengaluru opener! 🎤👏
