NH7 Weekender

Bacardi NH7 Weekender announced its much-awaited 2016 artist lineup.

The 7th edition is returning with some of the most prominent global names including Steven Wilson, DJ Premier, Jose Gonzalez, Vertical Horizon, RAC (DJ Set) and Anoushka Shankar. Amongst the Indian contingent, Shankar Mahadevan presents ‘My Country, My Music’, Papon, Indian Ocean, Shri, Skyharbor, Farhan Live, Prateek Kuhad and Nucleya lead the way. Shillong once again kicks off the festival on October 21-22, which will be followed by a gig in Hyderabad on November 5-6. The festival will culminate in Pune from December 2 to 4.

Since its inception, the Bacardi NH7 Weekender has featured some of the most exciting artists from India and around the world, across a variety of genres. This year is no different, with a curated selection of Indian and international artists taking stage at the festival.

Talking about this year’s edition, Vijay Nair, CEO of Only Much Louder, says, “Keeping the lineup of the festival fresh every year is one of the most interesting challenges we have while putting together the Bacardi NH7 Weekender. The lineup is curated individually for every place the festival visits, and this year, we’re bringing fans some of our strongest lineups yet. We know that music fans aren’t defined by their love for just one genre, which is why we design our lineups with the hope that not only will you find something you love already, you’ll also discover your new favourites for the next few years.”

Bacardi NH7 Weekender recently revealed its new plans to take the festival experience to more cities than ever before through day-long Bacardi NH7 Weekender Express editions, exciting pre-festival gigs titled Bacardi Club Nights and into the living rooms of fans around the country with Bacardi House Parties.
