festival review
How artists like Tool, Limp Bizkit, Tom Morello, Machine Head, Bruce Dickinson, Dropkick Murphys, The Offspring and more fared at the four-day rock and metal festival
Headliners like Norway’s black metal legends Mayhem, American metallers Born of Osiris and Dutch death metallers Pestilence made the ninth edition of the metal festival a standout treat
From electro-Carnatic jams to powerful Rajasthani voices, collaboration continues to be the big draw at the festival
By staying consistent in their messaging and curation that looks beyond overbooked, overplayed artists, the Bengaluru festival’s latest edition remained a hit
The eighth outing of the metal festival featured unparalleled performances by black metal veteran Abbath and death metallers Suffocation
Eric Prydz’s jaw-dropping debut, Macklemore’s underwhelming offerings, and why the festival exceeded all expectations despite venue change
The rise of the underdogs, Anoushka Shankar’s anti-climactic set and hip-hop’s big night with DJ Premier
A handful of singer-songwriters/bands, an army of electronica acts, and a glitchy power cut
While Coldplay and Jay Z delivered unforgettable performances, the festival should have at least introduced a few of India’s rising indie artists on its platform rather than parade Bollywood names
The first festival edition of the Bengaluru gig series pulled in impressive numbers for stand-out sets by the likes of stoner rock band Colour Haze and UK instrumental rockers 65daysofstatic
