These festivals were an attempt to give fans a taste of the much awaited Sunburn Festival vibe for those who haven’t experienced previous Sunburn Festival editions or would have found it difficult to travel outside their city to attend our events. It’s a great way to start our 12th season and we were thrilled to see fans turn out in large numbers to experience these memorable festivals as a build up to the mega Sunburn Festival scheduled to  be held in Pune from 29th December to 31st December 2018.”
