The festival, which takes place across four days this year in the north eastern Ziro Valley in Arunachal Pradesh, is slated to include over 30 artists. Extended by a day compared to its previous edition, Ziro Festival of Music takes place between September 25th and 28th this year.
While last year’s festival was headlined by American alt/noise rock band Sonic Youth’s guitarist Lee Ranaldo, this year includes several Indian artists from across the country. Electronica artist Your Chin [aka Raxit Tewari, frontman of electro rockers Sky Rabbit] and Manipuri alt rockers Imphal Talkies are set to return to the festival, with big draws including guitarist and poet Jeet Thayil’s new rock band Still Dirty, Delhi ska/reggae act The Ska Vengers, Kolkata rockers The Supersonics, Nagaland folk group the Tetseo Sisters, Delhi electronica act Tankbund and Mumbai electro-swing duo Madboy/Mink. Additional international and local artists are expected to be announced later this month.
