Carnival Underground

Being true to its name, One of the oldest jam pads in the capital is no short of a carnival. With a guest list of Nasya, Undying Inc., Badshah, Shibani Kashyap, Mohini Dey, Gino Banks, and Shafqat Amanat Ali, the jam pad seems to be a well-known top shop. The jam pad is almost 6 years old. Although we are tempted to use a carnival of rust pun here but that would be in distaste for some. However, the venue has seen almost 1500 bands practice and play, clocked 10,000 work/jam hours and trained 1500 students. Carnival is one hell of a venue which becomes more clear when the place is booked for a show. As the pad can be transformed into a stage within no time and has a capacity of 100 attendees. With such a history and patronage, the prices feel almost as a discount to an adventure. Apart from the mentioned, Carnival Underground also offers Music Classes, Equipment Rental and Dance Classes. To top it all, the organization also manages resident musicians. Timings: Morning: 7:00 am - 1:00 pm Afternoon: 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm Evening: 5:00 pm - 11:00 pm Charges: Rs. 300 Per Hour Address: A-29, Basement, Dayanand Colony, Lajpat Nagar - 4, New Delhi – 110024.
