Music With A Mission: KRBF 2025 Set To Light Up Kasauli Once Again

After a five-year hiatus, the much-loved Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival (KRBF) is making a grand comeback! Organized by Genesis Foundation, a Gurugram based NGO that focuses on providing medical treatment, pan-India for critically ill, underprivileged children suffering from Congenital Heart Defects (CHD), this flagship annual music festival will take place on April 18th and 19th, 2025, at the scenic Baikunth Resort in the heart of the Himalayas. Known for its stellar lineup, electric atmosphere, and heartfelt cause, KRBF has been a haven for music lovers since its inception in 2012.

The festival has built a legacy of bringing together some of the finest talents in Indian Pop, Rock, Jazz, and Bollywood music, creating an unforgettable experience for audiences amidst the breathtaking mountains of Kasauli. This year’s lineup will feature legendary Indian rock band Parikrama, electro-funk duo Madboy/Mink, and many more like Euphoria, Dhiren, K C Loy, Rasika Shekar, Carnatic 2.0 and Aneesha Das. 

More than just a celebration of music, KRBF stands for a greater cause. All proceeds from the festival go towards providing life-saving treatment for critically ill, underprivileged children, suffering from Congenital Heart Defects (CHD). These children come from families with a monthly income of Rs. 20,000 or less, making access to essential medical care nearly impossible. The artists performing at KRBF pledge their support to the Save Little Hearts initiative, helping to raise funds and awareness for children in need of urgent medical care. 

At KRBF, we believe it takes a village to save a child, and this incredible journey wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our partners. Harley-Davidson powers the music as our band partner, bringing unparalleled energy and rhythm to the festival. Together, we’re not just creating an unforgettable festival—we’re saving little hearts, one beat at a time. 

“At Genesis Foundation, our mission has always been to give critically ill children a fighting chance at life. KRBF is more than just a music festival—it’s a movement that unites artists, audiences, and partners in a shared purpose. Every ticket, every performance, and every note played contributes directly to saving little hearts. As we bring KRBF back after five years, we are reminded of the incredible power of music to inspire change and make a lasting impact,” said Jyoti Sagar, Founder Trustee of Genesis Foundation.

Ravi Avalur, Managing Director, Harley-Davidson India, said: "Harley-Davidson has always stood for passion, freedom, and a strong sense of community—values that resonate deeply with the Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival. This festival is more than just music; it’s a movement that brings people together for a meaningful cause. We are honored to support Genesis Foundation in their mission to save little hearts, proving that when music, purpose, and collective effort come together, we can create real impact."

The 2025 edition of KRBF promises an even more exhilarating experience, complete with soul-stirring performances, an immersive festival vibe, and a community of passionate music enthusiasts who believe in the power of music to drive change.

Mark your calendars for April 18-19, 2025, and be part of a festival that celebrates music, life, and hope.
