American electronic artists Skrillex and Kshmr, South Korean artist Peggy Gou and Swedish DJ-producer Alesso are among top headliners for Sunburn’s flagship edition in Goa, slated to be held from Dec. 28 to Dec. 30 in South Goa.
While a venue is yet to be announced, the festival has upped the ante when it comes to bringing down acclaimed electronic artists from the U.S. for its forthcoming edition.
Skrillex aka Sonny Moore will return to India for the first time since he toured in 2015. The Grammy-winning electronic artist — widely known for championing dubstep in the 2010s — has seen continued demand to perform in India. In 2023, he released “Rumble” with British producer Fred Again and grime MC Flowdan, which won them a Grammy earlier this year and led to several collaborations between the producers, including festivals like Coachella 2023, where they were joined by DJ-producer Four Tet.
Peggy Gou, for her part, arrives in India on the back of her global hit “(It Goes Like) Nanana” and about six years since she last toured the country, in 2018. Gou has had a widespread demand to return to India as well, bringing her catchy sonic aesthetic of house and techno. Expect Korean-inspired electronic music, including tracks like “Starry Night” and “I Go.”
Kshmr aka Niles Hollowell-Dhar, a favorite in India by now, especially after releasing his collab-heavy hip-hop album Karam in 2023, returns for a headline set. Alesso, the first headliner to be announced for Sunburn 2024, makes up for dropping out of the lineup in 2023 due to a change in dates.
Previously announced artists so far for Sunburn Goa 2024 include New York-based Kasia, known for her blend of melodic techno, plus London-based Argy, whose top songs include the 2021 single “Ketuvim.”
Sunburn Festival’s CEO Karan Singh said in his statement, “We are absolutely thrilled to bring Skrillex and Peggy Gou to Sunburn Goa 2024! These are artists who have consistently pushed the boundaries of electronic music and their addition to Alesso, KSHMR and ARGY who we announced recently, will deliver a truly next-level experience for our fans. This year’s lineup reflects the global diversity and electrifying energy that Sunburn is known for and we can’t wait for the world to witness these extraordinary performances.”
Day tickets for Sunburn Goa 2024 are priced at ₹2,500, with a buy now pay later option for season tickets priced at ₹3,250. A festival season ticket for all three days upfront costs ₹6,500, with VVIP tables costing ₹1,77,000.
