Mumbai’s skyline is about to throb with bass drops and neon dreams as Asia’s largest electric dance music festival, Sunburn Festival , storms Infinity Bay, Sewri, from December 19–21. It ditches Goa’s sands for the city’s electric pulse, promising a three-night frenzy of global beats and urban swagger. If you live for laser-lit raves and crowd-surfing euphoria, Sunburn Festival 2025 is your chaotic love letter to dance music.
How Sunburn Started: From Beach Rave to Global Beast
Born in 2007 on Goa’s sun-soaked Candolim Beach, Sunburn Festival was the brainchild of entrepreneur Shailendra Singh of Percept Ltd. What kicked off as a modest three-day EDM bash—blending international DJs with local vibes—exploded into Asia’s largest dance fest. By 2009, it was curating mega-shows worldwide, seeding India’s music tourism boom. Now, Sunburn Festival 2025 levels up in Mumbai, honoring its roots while cranking the volume to stadium-shaking heights.
