Since its inception in 2013, Live Viacom18‘s most cutting edge music venture Emerge, has brought to India a host of international talent for music-hungry fans across the nation.

2013 saw EMERGE host an array of fresh and seasoned acts from across the globe- Jeremy Loops (SA), Dinner and a Suit (USA), ENGINE-EARZ (UK) featuring Asa (UK), Foreign Beggars (UK), DJ Dismantle (UK), Go Go Berlin (GER), The Virginmarys (UK) and more recently, These Reigning Days (UK) who enthralled music fiends in major Indian cities.

Upping the ante this year, vivo presents EMERGE will be launching its very own day-long festival. The multi-dimensional experience at EMERGE will comprise stunning installations, live art events, sculptures and more.

Live Viacom18 in association with Vh1 India, has put together what promises to be a phenomenal day of fun and frolic in the Capital as well as the country’s original stomping ground for alternative music, Bangalore. On the bill is theGrammy-Award nominated Alt- J, BRIT Award Winners Rudimental (DJ set), and virtuoso hang-drum player Daniel Waples featuring The Petebox. Fantastic homegrown talent like the likes of New Delhi’s Advaita bring their sublime fusion tunes to the fore and Bangalore rock-outfit Parvaaz will also be part of the festivities.

At the very core of EMERGE is music and arts discovery- a platform, a forum where young fans can expect an experience like no other, where they will be able to truly open their minds and have a chance to discover something unique, something that will blow their mind - you could find your favourite new band, favourite new dancer and painter at EMERGE.

EMERGE will be an amalgamation of all things creative.

EMERGE – Music and Art Show will kick off in Bangalore and Delhi on 28^th of February and 1^st of March respectively. To keep the pollution levels under check and the city’s traffic under control, the organizers encourage visitors to pedal it to the concert for which a surprise offer/ discount will be announced shortly.

Commenting on this power-packed concept, Mr. Jaideep Singh, Sr. Vice President and Business Head – INS, Viacom18 Pvt. Ltd. said, “At LIVE Viacom18, we always aim at going beyond norms and experiment with new forms of music & entertainment. In India, live concerts and dance music have evolved and we can see people’s affinity to art as well. We challenged the norm with our flagship property Vh1Supersonic last year. This year, by blending music and art, two of the most creative forms of expression, we envision a new experience for the creative soul. The response in the past two years has been overwhelming and I am certain that this year will be exceptional.”

Following exceptionally successful events over the last few years in the form of MTV Bollyland, Nickelodean Kids Choice Awards and VH1 Supersonic, LIVE Viacom18 is all set to further expand its activities in the entertainment sphere, reaching new audiences and the youth by launching a day-long festival EMERGE: a one-of-a-kind art and music experience.
