3 quirky things at NH7 Weekender this year
India’s favourite music festival is back for its fourth edition this month and while it never disappoints in the music department, it always surprises attendees with its innovative acts. Apart from the lineup, here is some out-of-the-box stuff you can loo
Growler girls
Fancy a round of rowdy rocking to death metal? Ladies, get in an exclusive pit designed just for you. As hardcore band-cum-entertainers Scribe roar their way through their set, you can rough it out with fellow metal heads, less unruly, but equally badass in the all-girls-moshpit. “It's quite a delight to watch girls rock out like that, and they really get into it. Girls pull in other girls. It's very cool,” says Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy, vocalist of Scribe.
Dogs of rock
Finding responsible pet-sitters in Mumbai is a hard work. But why leave your doggie at home, when he can go out and play at the happiest music festival. Legally. The Bacardi NH7 Weekender has tied up with India’s leading canine events company Party Barky Hai to ensure that your pooch enjoys the festival just as much as you do. The venue will be dotted with dog-friendly zones near the stages and you can take your dogs along while you check out the acts.
Watch out
Why should your auditory senses have all the fun? This year, the organisers are providing a special treat for your eyes too. Visual Jockeys will take the stage along with DJs and bands to throw up graphics to go with the music. When asked what VJ Santana (Santana Issar) plans to do visually, she said, “Make people stare at the screen until they're slack-jawed and glassy-eyed.”
