It’s the season for music festivals and we just got a massive one!

The organisers of India Music Week have announced the full line-up for their three-city, multiple venue event that takes place from the 16th to the 20th of November in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.

Featuring over 40 acts, the festival line-up combines a mix of big name Indian indie talent and an eclectic collection of European jazz/electronica acts. In addition to the performances the festival’s inaugural edition will also include a two day music conference at Delhi’s Eros Hotel.

The festival also features some interesting Indian-tinged electronica from acts like Sattyananda Electro-Classical, Hamza & Lateef, Hari & Sukhmani, Shantam as well as some of Indian electronica’s most famous beat junkies like Teddy Boy Kill, Ma Faiza, Arjun Vagale & Ashvin (Jalebee Cartel) and B.L.O.T.
