What excites me about this project is that it is about engaging with Independent music in India in its totality; It is much more than just a music festival, it engages everyone from musicians to fans to the music industry at many levels” – Editor & Publisher Amit Saigal (Rock Street Journal Magazine).

Those present at the press conference were in for a treat when Bollywood singer KK performed an acoustic rock number with Parikrama, giving the media a glimpse of what is to come at the actual event. It doesn’t matter what kind of music you listen to there will be something for all with big band jazz to hip electronica, from intelligent pop to strident rock, from ska and dance hall to progressive psy trance, drum & bass and even the good ol’ blues and folk. So take some time out next week and enjoy the music!
