linearಬೆಂಗಳೂರು (linear bangalore), is the city’s first 24-hour performing arts festival. The first edition of the festival was designed to be experienced along Bangalore’s Green Metro Line in September 2025. It featured a landmark all-night performance in the heart of the city while linking multiple venues within walking distance of key stations. The event is planned around enabling audiences to move seamlessly between shows using public transportation.
The visual identity we designed for it takes cues from the metro maps to form the main design element that anchors the look. The graphic language traditionally used to depict metro routes became a way to curate the schedule and various performers of the festival. The same visual cues made their way into other elements like merchandise and zines, instantly letting a festival-goer know what linear bangalore is about.
The 2025 edition of the festival took place between 13-14th September 2025. The 2026 edition is scheduled to take place between 26-27th of September, for which we are currently developing an updated identity system.
