Music Festivals have become a toast of the country’s live entertainment scenario. With the audience preferring music festivals and new travel destinations, the makers of the much coveted Storm Festival are creating an entire year’s musical engagement across India. Starting with Chasing Storm, New Year’s Eve event, at Coorg on 31st Dec 2014 & 1st Jan 2015; a compact, far more intimate version of the Storm festival, will stay true to its inherent promise of being close to nature. Chasing Storm, New Year’s Eve event will be held at Virjapet, a lush green venue in Coorg- its birthplace - with camping, bonfires, late night bar-be-cues and jams.
Chasing Storm is the prelude to the main festival scheduled in the second half of 2015. Needless to say, Chasing Storm will present a crisper line up of electronic, folk- fusion and indie acts along with an Indian Music Industry legend- who will do justice to the special celebratory New Year Eve edition of Storm.
The celebratory line-up includes: a rare classic Bollywood and contemporary set by the legendary singer Usha Uthup, Internationally acclaimed underground favourite – DJ Modium, Australia /Singapore- who’s a fast rising star with his dedicated following especially in the Asian subcontinent; Tuhin Mehta, Swarathama, Lagori, Solder and Live Banned among others.
Starting with the Chasing Storm New Year’s Eve @ Coorg during the New Year, 12 other Indian destinations will witness the Chasing Storm series to culminate in Coorg around December 2015 for the Storm Festival.
Storm festival is the first-of-its-kind Camp Out Music festival - that redefined the very concept of a 'destination festival' with its debut in 2012. The festival set a benchmark with its tight programming, high standards of production, eco-friendly and successfully managed elaborate camping arrangements. This year’s grand festival that took place in February featured 5 stages and 65 artistes from across the world.
