Music and motorcycles go together, hand-in-hand. Which is why we have lined up some absolutely fantastic acts for you, across three stages – live, acoustic and EDM. Whatever be the kind of music that rocks you, IBW has got it.

Biking fever is back with a bang! India Bike Week, the Woodstock of Biking Festivals, is gearing up for India’s largest celebration of Bikers, Bikes, Music & entertainment. In 2014 IBW sprawls across an 8 acre site overlooking the ocean in Vagator, Goa on 17^th and 18^th January 2014. This year will be bigger and better. This is why …

In 2014, expect hundreds of never-seen-before machines. Including the incredible ‘Radial Chopper’ – yes, that's the one with a World War II fighter-plane type engine.

Speaking on the occasion, Martin da Costa, CEO of 70 EMG said, “The first India Bike Week in 2013 was a great experience for the six and half thousand Bikers that made it to Goa. This second edition of IBW is a tribute to those pioneers – they believed in IBW, made it to Goa, rode hard, partied and made friends for life. We owe it to them to make IBW 2014 something really special. It starts with getting the whole Brotherhood of Bikers inside the walls of IBW, and it’ll end with greatest celebration of Indian Bikers, and world Biking that we’ve ever seen in India. For me, and for the 10,000 and more Bikers, Festival fans and travelers that will be in Goa for IBW, 17^th January 2014 can’t come fast enough.”

Keertan Adyantaya, Managing Director, Fox International Channels said, “IBW 2014 edition builds on 2013’s strengths, and makes the canvas larger. The effort is to bring together the best of the experiences and entertainment that are available across the world, for bikers and bike lovers. This year we have picked and added much more to the IBW experience. We have international biking legends, professional stunt zones. Bike displays, new bike launches and the famous bike build off, on a larger scale. There is also enough to satisfy the overall adrenalin plus entertainment quotient. All this on the 17th & 18th January at Goa for all the bike and festival lovers.”

Anoop Prakash, Managing Director Harley-Davidson India states, “We are proud to lead the way for leisure motorcycling in India, and to build up groundbreaking events like India Bike Week for bike enthusiasts nationwide.
