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.

While the line-up includes some of the biggest names in Indian indie – The Raghu Dixit Project, Soulmate, Thermal And A Quarter, Motherjane, Ska Vengers, Menwhopause, KK and Parikrama top the bill – the festival will also feature performances from French Reunion Island chanteuse Stephanie Thazar, German electronica trio Jahcoozi, Norwegian electro-soul producer Mathias Stubø, German swing band BuJazzO and Norwegian eclectic pop duo Mari & Stein.

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.
