Later in the summer, the two-day Verknipt festival will take place on Jun. 7 and 8, 2025 in Utrecht.Their India debut promises an unparalleled auditory experience, inviting attendees to delve into the deeper, more visceral realms of techno.

Describing his music as ‘hypnotic industrial techno’, Lyon-origin artist 6EJOU is among the top draws at Verknipt’s India shows. A fixture at Verknipt events, 6EJOU also runs his own label, Industrial Violence Records. While 6EJOU is making his India debut as part of Verknipt Mumbai and Hyderabad, Spain-born Fatima Hajji returns to the country after a few years.

Along with her, Dutch electronic artist Stan Christ is also returning to India, last touring the country in October 2024.
