With over 35 artists spread across 3 days on an idyllic beach in Goa, Sunburn is one of India’s first officially recognized International dance music festivals and Asias largest. The festival takes place from Dec 27 – 29 at Candolim Beach Goa.
Sunburn Festival 2008
Goa, of course, has been associated with psychedelic trance since the late '90s, but last year the island haven got a fresh lease of life in the form of the debut Sunburn Festival, which ambitiously sought to create a niche for dance music and its enthusiasts by hosting a two-day extravaganza that featured DJs such as Carl Cox, Above & Beyond, John '00' Fleming and a slew of other formidable local and international talents. Although it had some initial hiccups, the party was a roaring success, instantly becoming one of the premiere events for fans of electronic music that had grown weary of the psy-trance sound.
Sunburn's second edition garnered great expectations as a result, but rumors of the festival's demise were quick to circulate: Sunburn didn't have the sponsorship of Smirnoff like it did last year and, what's more, terrorist attacks in Mumbai in November shook the whole of India, and Goa was reported to be the next target. Festival organizers Nikhil Chinapa and his Submerge crew along with the event producers PDM Entertainment took both issues in stride.
They somehow got enough support to bring in a wide variety of international artists—although many reportedly took a pay cut to be there—and also assuaged festival-goers fears by letting them know in plenty of time that the event was still very much on.
