Genesis Foundation Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival

After a five-year break, Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival (KRBF) is set to make a spectacular return! Organized by Genesis Foundation, a Gurugram-based NGO dedicated to providing medical treatment across India for critically ill, underprivileged children with Congenital Heart Defects (CHD), this flagship annual music festival will take place on April 18 and 19, 2025, at the Baikunth Resort in the Himalayas. Since its inception in 2012, KRBF has been a cherished retreat for music lovers, known for its electrifying performances, vibrant atmosphere, and heartfelt mission.

Renowned for curating an exceptional mix of Indian Pop, Rock, Jazz, and Bollywood music, the festival has built a legacy of unforgettable experiences. This year’s stellar lineup features legendary Indian rock band Parikrama, electro-funk duo Madboy/Mink, and other incredible artists, including Euphoria, Dhiren, K C Loy, Rasika Shekar, Carnatic 2.0, and Aneesha Das.

Beyond music, KRBF carries a deeper purpose. Every rupee raised from the festival goes towards life-saving treatment for critically ill, underprivileged children battling CHD. These children come from families earning Rs. 20,000 or less per month, making access to vital medical care an immense challenge. The performing artists stand in solidarity with the Save Little Hearts initiative, using their talent to raise funds and awareness for children in urgent need of medical assistance.

The 2025 edition of KRBF promises an even more exhilarating experience, featuring soul-stirring performances, an immersive festival atmosphere, and a community of passionate music lovers who believe in the transformative power of music to create lasting change.

Jyoti Sagar, Founder Trustee, Genesis Foundation said, “At Genesis Foundation, our mission has always been to give critically ill children a fighting chance at life. KRBF is more than just a music festival—it’s a movement that unites artists, audiences, and partners in a shared purpose. Every ticket, every performance, and every note played contributes directly to saving little hearts. As we bring KRBF back after five years, we are reminded of the incredible power of music to inspire change and make a lasting impact.”

Ravi Avalur, Managing Director, Harley-Davidson India said, "Harley-Davidson has always stood for passion, freedom, and a strong sense of community—values that resonate deeply with the Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival. This festival is more than just music; it’s a movement that brings people together for a meaningful cause. We are honored to support Genesis Foundation in their mission to save little hearts, proving that when music, purpose, and collective effort come together, we can create real impact."
