The 16th edition of Asia’s largest electronic dance music festival saw enthusiasts of music from over 50 countries make a beeline for Vagator to surrender themselves to an all-embracing and immersive experience like never before.

As festival goers dressed in their swankiest best, glided through the sea of attendees to revel in India’s festival giant’s annual festivities, they were welcomed by the familiar optimistic vibe, as they wandered through a truly whimsical festival site of the size of 3 football stadiums making their way from stage to stage, enthusiastically waiting for their favourite artists to kick-start the biggest party of the year.

With stellar production, six massive stages, assorted adventure zones, a lively flea market, a lip-smacking food zone; the festival was truly an embodiment of the ‘Live, Love, Dance’ philosophy of the festival.

The festival line-up left the audience spoilt for choice. Artistes were well-placed with regard to both location and time slots ensuring there were no logistical nightmares as fans regaled in the glowing, laser-flashing, fireworks-blasting visual spectacle.

Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn states, “We witnessed an overwhelming response to day one of our 2022 edition and we are grateful to the fans for their unwavering support.

Representing the return from tough and trying times, the 2022 edition of Sunburn will live up to its’ legacy of being the leader in the electronic dance music festival circuit.”
