Unless you've been living under a humongous rock, it would be immensely hard to have missed the anticipation that the upcoming edition of Sunburn Goa is generating across the country. Touted as the largest Asian Music Festival, Sunburn continues to top every ‘Must-Experience’ list this year, and once again promises to be an incredible experience! Sunburn Goa, curated by Percept Live, in association with Klassique Events Goa, is back for its 13th edition from 27 – 29 December 2019 at Vagator Goa, and we can think of a hundred reasons why it’s going to be an experience you won’t forget.

Everyone’s looking forward to Asia's largest music festival, Sunburn, returning to its birthplace, Goa.
