For all those who think that there is no good music fest in
India. Please read through.
I completed my B-tech from Pune in 2011 and immediately migrated
to Mumbai to start my professional innings.
I came to know about NH7 Weekender from my roommate and
colleague and immediately decided to join him for this fest. The month was
November and the place was my favorite, Pune. We were excited to see some known
and many unknown bands performing live. Weekender is a 3 day fest which imparts
you many unforgettable memories for life time.
The crowd here is undoubtedly the hottest and happiest.
There are 4 to 5 stages on which artist perform scintillating music from 4pm to
10 pm 3days in a row.
The genre varies from Rock to classical, death metal to
folk, house to techno trance and what not. You can select you favorite
genre or even hop between the arenas.
Booze counters and
set up in every arena to maximize your fun when “you are there.”
Mosh pit is a common sight to watch in Wolves den arena.
Weekender surely gives you a chance to forget the worldly
affairs for 3 days, let loose and connect to your soul via music. After parties
that follow at various locations in Pune are a must.
Trust me nothing can beat meeting an old friend suddenly,
lying on the grass and listening to Indian Ocean performing live on Dewarist
stage .
This year will be my 5th Weekender in a row and I
know this row will never end.
As they say, Talk to strangers make new friends.
