India today has more music festivals than ever before but, in some ways it all started with BACARDÍ NH7 Weekender. Before 2010, the country had not witnessed a festival that celebrated the independent music industry at scale.
Originality, diversity and culture – A festival that accepts and welcomes fans from various sectors of the market has led the festival to have genuine relationships and trust with fans, artists and partners.
In 2010, OML conceptualised and launched BACARDÍ NH7 Weekender – a multi stage multi genre music festival in Pune to give a platform to the indie music community – for performance and discovery. Over 10 years the festival has grown in size, scale and production as it traveled to multiple cities, hosted an increasing audience every year and featured acts from all over the country and the world – with main editions in a few cities and smaller Express editions taking the festival across the country to multiple venues and cities every year.
Over the years, the we have built a community that comes together to celebrate music and various art forms. The warmth that flows from one fan to another, the friendships that form for a lifetime and, the memories that are created make BACARDÍ NH7 Weekender the happiest music festival.
The festival celebrated its 10th year in 2019 with 2 destinations- its home in Pune and in Meghalaya – the 2 flagship editions that have seen tens of thousands of people make their way every year to see their favourite acts, discover new music, and revel in the vibe of what has become one of India’s pioneer music festivals.
