Gradually, event companies have begun to realise the potential of India’s population and their love for music. Though still far behind festival circuits in Europe and the US, several of which boast of 800-plus acts and thousands of visitors daily, the number of these festivals (big-ticket and smaller Indie acts) in India have increased in the past few years. And they encompass not just Electronic Dance Music (EDM) but several genres of music.
