Steven Wilson, Jose Gonzalez & More Announced For NH7 Weekender 2016
8 August 2016
India’s 'happiest music festival' Bacardi NH7 Weekender announced its lineup last week on Facebook and Twitter under the hashtag #lineup2016. They've also made the controversial decision to exclude bigger cities like Delhi and Bangalore, focussing their attention instead on Shillong, after a successful first edition in 2015, and Hyderabad, a city that has seen a lot of growth in venues and events over the last couple of years.
The event will be kicking off in Shillong on 21-22 October, followed by Hyderabad from 5-6 November and Pune, from 2-4 December. You can purchase tickets here on Insider. More details about the festival’s ‘Express’ editions and house parties available here.
