Live Viacom18 in association with Vh1 India, has put together EMERGE Festival which promises to be a phenomenal day of fun and frolic in the music loving cities.

At the very core of EMERGE is a musical 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.

Commenting on their return ALT-J band member Gus Unger-Hamilton. "We can't wait to come back to India. Our first trip there was incredible and we're looking forward to seeing our fans out there again at the Emerge Festival." 

Following exceptionally successful events over the last few years in the form of MTV Bollyland, Nickelodeon 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.

Commenting on the return of ALT J for Emerge, Mr. Jaideep Singh, Sr. Vice President and Business Head – INS, Viacom18 Pvt. Ltd. said, “At LIVE Viacom18, we always aim at going beyond traditional norms and experiments in the music & entertainment space. We are committed to providing an experience to remember and we are happy to bring back the band to our audiences to live up to the promises we made to them.”

Opening the act for ALT-J will be Prateek Kuhad, a singer-songwriter from New York/New Delhi, active since 2010. His music can be described as pop rock. He plays several acoustic shows across New York City. Having performed at venues across New York, Prague, New Orleans and India and with the release of his EP, Raat Raazi, in 2013, Prateek Kuhad instantly established himself as one of the most promising artists in the Indian independent music scene.

Along with Prateek Kuhad, another Indian band performing in Delhi is Advaita - a Fusion band from Delhi, formed in September 2004. It is the expression of eight distinct musical sensibilities that dissolve into each other to bring forth a truly unique and ingenious sound. Their music is deeply inspired by the quest to discover rhythms and textures that resonate around us and within us. Advaita was featured on the Indian leg of the MTV shows Coke Studio and MTV Unplugged.

Emerge invites all the music enthusiasts to groove and sweat it out this summer with Alt- J, rock sensation music on 21^st and 22^nd May at Delhi and Mumbai respectively.
