Let your friends know, join me on stage, and together in India we will all make this our biggest global celebration to date."

EDM hitmaker and celebrity DJ Deadmau5 said, “I just want to express how excited I am to be coming back to India, especially for such a large scale spectacular event! Working with Sunburn again is an absolute pleasure. The thing I love most about India is the warmth and humour of the people, not forgetting the fantastic food and fashion! See you all there, I cannot wait!”

Part of the explosion of Dutch EDM DJs who emerged during the 2012-2013 season Martin Garrix said, “Hey India! I am ready for Sunburn 2015! You warriors are in for a treat… See you this December!"

Another incentive this year is the ticketing policy where fans can avail the payment-in-instalments scheme – 50% at the time of booking and 50% within a period of 45 days. This is one incentive that has never been offered by any music festival, making Sunburn once again a pioneering thought leader in the industry.
