This marks a shift away from Vagator, Goa, which has hosted the festival for the past few years.

- Dates remain December 19 and 20, 2025
- Existing tickets valid; refunds available until December 3
India Bike Week 2025: All you need to know
Same dates, new venue
The move comes after prolonged uncertainty caused by the Zilla Parishad elections in Goa, which were first scheduled for December 13 and then moved to December 20, clashing with the initial IBW plan. The new venue is Dubash Airfield in Panchgani, which should offer a different backdrop from the familiar coastal setting of Goa.
As always, IBW will pack in new motorcycle launches, custom builds, live music, riding events and plenty more for enthusiasts.
Existing ticket holders don’t need to make any changes as their tickets remain valid for the new venue. Those who can’t make it can request a full refund until December 3.
