The festival is spread over four days and is hosted by the members of the Apatani people in Ziro.

4. Shiva Squad Festival – As one can gauge by the name itself, it is a festival meant for the people who like their music when absolutely high. The setting is always ambient, in Himachal Pradesh. Shiva Squad gatherings are like living theaters with manifestation of creativity and evolution. Although the dominating genre of music is understandably Trance, there are other genres too that can be enjoyed with your kin while you smoke your endless nights away. This season, it’s taking place in Kasol in May; you can imagine the rest. Website/Link: http://allevents.in/kasol/shiva-squad-festival-7-8-may-2016/726066207524805

5. Music in the Hills – This is the biggest independent music festival in India, which is supported and organized completely by the people who come to attend the event without any sponsorships from the corporates. Since this is an informal event organized without sponsorships, the publicity is essentially word-to-mouth and eventually only the true persistent music lovers end up reaching the venue (Smell Woodstock?). It is actually a connoisseur’s delight when he can listen to various genres of music sans the shackles of money. Do give it a visit at least once in your life.
