Sun, Sand, Sea. Come December, and Goa is the place to be!

 

If there’s one place where time stands still, where music is the only religion, and where you can let go of all your inhibitions and be whoever you want to be…it is in Goa.

December is already here and the sandy shores of Goa are gearing up for a musical extravaganza that enthralls party goers from across the globe.The Sunburn Goa Music Festival kicks off on the beaches of Vagator from 27th - 30th December. With a number of different stages and over 90 artists, this isn’t Asia’s biggest music festival for no reason. This electronic extravaganza has in the past attracted the likes of Paul van Dyk, Richard Durand, BT, Axwell, Ferry Corsten, Nadia Ali and many others. Some of the other artists who have performed here include electronic stars like Dutch artist Sander Van Doorn, Fedde Le Grand, Brian Transeau aka BT, house DJ Roger Sanchez, French funk/disco artist Norman Doray and Indian artists such as Jalabee Cartel, Reggae Rajah, DJ Shaan et al.

 

 

Aptly described as ‘a cocktail of dance and music galore’, the Sunburn Festival guarantees wild parties, adrenalin gushing music and an experience of a lifetime. The ambience is of one big open discotheque with artists performing round the clock. Going beyond music, the three-day festival is a synergy of entertainment, sports, food, and shopping and promises unlimited fun. And if you still haven’t had enough, the ‘After Dark’ parties that begin post 10 pm are a culmination of the day’s celebrations and guarantee a 24-hour music hangover. This one is worth attending if nothing else but to brag about later to friends back home!
