Hold onto your bucket hats and glow sticks, folks—Shillong is about to get an earful of bass drops and euphoria as Sunburn, Asia’s premier electronic dance music festival, makes its grand debut in the ‘Scotland of the East’ with the launch of its latest venture, Sunburn Summer Fest.
If you thought Meghalaya’s rolling green hills were serene, think again! Come May 10, the capital city will be pulsating to the beats of world-class DJs before the party hurtles down to Bengaluru on May 11, in what promises to be a weekend of musical mayhem and summer-infused revelry.
A Feast for the Senses (and the Eardrums)
True to its reputation, Sunburn Summer Fest is pulling out all the stops, curating an eclectic mix of international electronic artists and homegrown musical wizards, all set against a breathtaking backdrop that even Wordsworth might struggle to describe. Think festival-sized sound systems shaking the valleys, immersive stage designs that could make your local funfair blush, and art installations so dazzling they might just make you question reality.
“Sunburn has always been about crafting unforgettable music experiences, and we’re excited to introduce Summer Fest,” said Karan Singh, CEO of Sunburn, with the enthusiasm of a man who knows he’s about to throw one of the biggest bashes of the season. “By launching in Shillong and Bengaluru, we’re blending music, culture, and summer vibes in two incredible cities.”
Not Just a Rave—A Full-Blown Spectacle
But wait, there’s more! Beyond the wall of sound and feet-throbbing beats, festival-goers can expect interactive summer-themed attractions, vibrant art installations, and possibly a few surprises that may or may not involve neon paint and oversized sunglasses. If you fancy getting your festival fix, tickets start at a reasonable Rs 1,200 and are available via BookMyShow.
For the uninitiated, Sunburn is no small fry in the world of EDM festivals. Ranked 11th on DJ Mag’s ‘Top 100 Festivals in 2024’, it has played host to the likes of Martin Garrix, Tiësto, and Swedish House Mafia, bringing global electronic royalty to Indian shores. So, if you’ve ever dreamt of grooving under the stars while some of the biggest DJs in the world drop their sickest beats, this is your moment.
Shillong, Ready to Rumble?
So, Shillong, are you ready to swap your monastic tranquillity for a weekend of unadulterated, bass-thumping euphoria? Sunburn Summer Fest is bringing the heat—don’t forget your suncream, your best dance moves, and a solid plan to recover from what promises to be an electrifying weekend.
See you on the dancefloor—or at least somewhere near the speakers, trying to text your mates through a sea of neon-clad ravers!
