Given the close relationship Sunburn has shared with Goa over the past decade, it was time for Percept Live to use the platform of Music to give back to the beautiful state of Goa and help the authorities in the irrelentless fight against the Covid 19 pandemic. This led to the inception of ‘Sunburn For Goa’, a CSR initiative where the World’s No. 1 DJ DVLM, World’s Biggest Social Media Platform Facebook and Asia’s Biggest Music Festival ‘Sunburn’ united for a Cause.
