BACARDÍ NH7 Weekender returns with its 14th edition later this year and is set to take place between December 1st and 3rd in Pune. With a fresh venue this time around, the festival will be held against the sprawling backdrop of the 25-acre Teerth Fields.
The theme for this year’s edition is all about #ItsAMood. The festival plans to go beyond music, embodying the spirit of community, discovery, and pure celebration. Known for its eclectic programming and knack for introducing emerging talent, the 2023 edition is no different. With over 45 artists spanning across four stages, this festival caters to every musical taste, from metalheads to hip-hop enthusiasts. But there’s a twist this year – Gen Z talents will share the limelight, marking a pivotal moment in the festival’s evolution.
The festival is also a cornucopia of experiences, featuring Ferris wheel rides, mouthwatering culinary delights, refreshing drinks, a vibrant flea market, captivating art installations, and even a gaming area. There’s something for everyone under the Pune sun.
For those who want to take their festival experience to the next level, there’s the “Like A Boss” ticket category. Attendees will enjoy perks like elevated viewing platforms, air-conditioned washrooms, a dedicated bar with premium cocktails, and a complimentary drink. Plus, they’ll have separate entry and ticket redemption lanes.
Environmental consciousness is a priority at the festival too, with a commitment to recycling, composting, donating, and reusing 90 percent of all waste generated at the festival. It’s a step towards making the festival experience sustainable for years to come.
Inclusivity and gender equality are also at the forefront this year. Female representation on the lineup is amplified, and a female-led festival design team, headed by renowned artist Osheen Siva, is steering the creative ship. Safety tents, gender-neutral washrooms, and frisking lines ensure that inclusivity goes beyond the stage and into every aspect of the festival.
The OG Phase tickets for the festival flew off the shelves in a record-breaking 48 minutes when they went live on Paytm Insider. The I Was There Phase is now live, with Regular Season tickets at ₹2,999 and Under-21 tickets at ₹1999.
