With stellar production, six massive stages, assorted adventure zones, a lively flea market, a lip-smacking food zone and a dynamic camping site the festival was truly lit AF.
A Circus Theme For The Ultimate HomecomingĪs I mentioned earlier, this year's Sunburn festival was based on a circus theme, and the entire arena was dolled up for the big celebration.
Garrix is a man who knows how to get the crowd moving and that's exactly what his performance was all about. This is the first time he'll not be playing anywhere during the New Year's as he intends to spend some time with his family and friends. The Sunburn performance was Martin's last show this year as he's taking a break for New Years. The third day of the festival was also buzzing with energy as everybody was waiting for the final performance of Martin Garrix to end the show on a high note.Ī post shared by Martin Garrix on at 10:10am PST The “Closer” and “Paris” hitmakers seemingly brought everything they had to the performance and the duo took us through the highlights of their discography. The main stage also hosted some big names like Fedde Le Grand, The Chainsmokers, and more. "I am also working on music for a movie, but I can't talk about it yet," he said.
Before he pumped up the audience with his signature sound, he said that he's releasing a full album this year and he's super excited. While Flume didn't reveal much about this project, Ritviz, was super excited for his Sunburn set and revealed some of the things that he's working on. He's also looking forward to some interesting collaborations next year, but we'll have to wait a bit to learn more about it. But I've been told that the energy is really high, so I can't wait to go out there," he said just minutes before his performance.įlume, by the way, is really excited for his new album which he plans on releasing in 2020. "This is my time first performing in India, so I don't know what to expect from the crowd. I couldn't get a chance to interact with DJ Snake since he was on a tight schedule, but I did sit down with the Australian Grammy Award winning producer Flume the next day before his maiden performance in India. Greeting fans with "Namaste" and closing his set with a positive message was what I'd say, the highlights of the festival. His ultimate anthems and classics amidst a barrage of LED panels, strobes, pyrotechnics, fireworks, CO2 cannons, and lasers sure worked its charm on the crowd. I also found myself spending a lot of time at the Psychedelic Circus Stage to jive to the sets by gems like Progressive Brothers, Shiva Manvi and more.Ī post shared by Lost Frequencies on at 9:01pm PSTĭj Snake was at his best too. As expected, he dished out thumping deep house with Like I Love You and Are You With Me. I am a huge fan of the young Belgian prodigy, Felix aka Lost Frequencies, and his set was among the best. We'll get to the production part a bit later, but let's just say that it was fantastic.
I think the old-school carnival theme was just perfect for this year.
It was truly incredible to see all the artists perform live. From Lost Frequencies, Jonas Blue and DJ Snake on Day 1 to Flume, The Chainsmokers, and Martin Garrix performing over the next two days, I think it's safe to say that the festival lineup left the audience spoilt for choice. This year's main stage saw some of the biggest artists in the world perform and turn it into the biggest party of the year. © The Moneta Line Up That'll Leave You Spoilt For Choice And that's exactly what this year's Sunburn was all about! You can expect an incredible turnout bustling with energy. If you've attended any of the Sunburn events before then you already know that it's all about the music, the ambiance, the production, the vibe, and the overwhelming energy of the artists performing live. Sunburn's homecoming this year in Goa after many years promised all of that and then some. It takes a lot to blend the world of fantasy with powerful dance music, all while hosting a diverse crowd and world renowned artists.
Music festivals are a dime a dozen these days, but often times it's very hard for the organisers to get things right.
