Over the last nine years, we’ve evolved from being a music festival to an inspirational brand with millions of loyalists. Our move to Maharashtra is a part of that evolution. Our fans have been our first priority and Sunburn hills turned out to be the perfect destination to give our fans a larger than life experience in the 10th edition of Sunburn. We started our season with a bang bringing down the top-ranked DJs and hope to really close the year on a high with Sunburn 10. We are thankful to the tourism of Maharashtra for extending their help in making the move possible. A massive festival like Sunburn takes months of preparations, and we’re going in all guns blazing to make it big.”
