A teaser announcing the one-day music extravaganza was launched in July, and it was subsequently confirmed that it would take place at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai incidentally, the venue where pop sensation Justin Bieber had performed a while back.
The time, the stadium is set to host Dua Lipa along with Katy Perry.
Speaking about the music festival, Carl Pei, co-founder, OnePlus said: "We are super excited that Dua Lipa will also be performing in the first-ever OnePlus Music Festival in India! The addition of Dua completes the International Festival music offering. We will be announcing additional music from India soon. This festival will truly be a one of a kind experience for our Indian community".
