Ahead of the Bengaluru leg of the Hornbill On Tour competition at Hard Rock Café, Peepal Tree spoke to us about what it would mean to them to participate in the Hornbill International Music Festival and rock Competition.

Hornbill On Tour is a three-city tour of concerts that will be held over the next two months in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, which will help shortlist bands that will participate at the 2015 edition of Hornbill International Music Festival, to be held in December.
