Speaking about the Escape Summer Vibe, L Tochhawng aka Mama, Festival Director, Escape, says, “Our goal was to create an experiential evening that incorporated various elements of the main festival be it the music, the venue, the ambience, the food or the vibe itself. It was encouraging and wonderful to hear and see the positive and excited response of the patrons/attendees who partied on after the show into the wee hours of the morning in their various rooms and villas. The new ambient stage was well received by the attendees and has encouraged us to take this genre of music to the next level in the next offshoot escape event like Escape Retreats or Escape Summer Vibe. While the dates for the main festival will be announced later this year we will be organizing other of offshoots throughout the year.”

The Seasons Golf resort, Tarudhan Valley, has hosted over 4 offshoot festivals of Escape and has been cultivated as a festival friendly venue. A great venue takes a great festival a notch higher and provides the perfect setting for a memorable festival.

About Escape Festival of Arts and Music

The Escape Festival of Arts and Music (rated among top ten music destination festivals of India) started in May 2009 when a few musicians and like-minded people decided to get away from New Delhi for a few days. They chose a picturesque resort at Naukuchiatal, at the foothills of The Himalayas which became their Escape. Initiated by Potheads, Escape has made a benchmark as a creative retreat that features established and upcoming musicians and other creative artistes like photographers, painters, graffiti artistes etc in a mélange of talent that by its true definition can only be described as an “Escape” from the humdrum and the mundane. Ever since its inception, the Escape Festival has been instrumental in picking up hidden gems, raw new talent and has essentially been a launch platform for musicians and other creative artistes alike. Escape, has grown since then to become one of India’s foremost outdoor festivals.
