5 music festivals to catch

SUNBURN Festival

The country’s biggest dance party is only getting bigger with each new edition – this year, the three-day festival has been stretched by a day to accommodate the well-packed roster. EDM staples David Guetta and Martin Garrix helm the party that also includes other genre stars likes Axwell, Hardwell and Dimitri Vegas. If you’re too late for Goa, Sunburn will bring the party to you – catch Dutch DJ Afrojack on his five-city India tour starting this month.    

SUNBURN Festival is on from Dec 27-30; Sunburn.in

Enchanted Valley Carnival

Club-favourite Tiesto and electronica heavyweight Fatboy Slim are definite crowd-pullers to the third edition of EVC, held at Aamby Valley City. Warming up for the headliners are homegrown electronica acts like Arjun Vagale, Kohra and Oozeundat. Make the most of all that adrenaline by taking up an adventure activity – choose from ziplining, zorbing, rock climbing and a host of other options.
