Going that extra mile to introduce and connect music enthusiasts to their passion by providing the right platform and committing to provide an experience that is memorable as well as entertaining, private channed Live Viacom 18, is all set to offer audiences a chance to experience the alt rock sensation, Emerge with Alt-J in Gurgaon on May 21.
Alternate rock sensation, Alt- J took music enthusiasts by a storm on their first visit to India in February 2015. Fans have been spell-bound by their charm ever since. Their live-set performance at Emerge Festival in Bangalore was sold out within minutes of the tickets going on air with more than 6000 music lovers attending the event. Thus, on popular demand, a welcome return of Alt-J to India this summer, as part of the Emerge Festival has been organised.
At the very core of Emerge, is a musical discovery — a platform, a forum, where young fans can expect an experience like no other; where they will be able to truly open their minds and have a chance to discover something unique; something that will blow their mind.
Commenting on their return Alt-J band member Gus Unger-Hamilton, said: “We can’t wait to come back to India. Our first trip was incredible and we’re looking forward to seeing our Indian fans again at the Emerge Festival.”
The day-long festival Emerge is a one-of-a-kind art and music experience.
Opening the act for Alt-J will be Prateek Kuhad — a New York-based singer-songwriter from New Delhi, active since 2010. His music can be described as pop rock. He plays in several acoustic shows across New York City.
Having performed at venues across New York, Prague, New Orleans and India and with the release of his EP, Raat Raazi, in 2013, Prateek Kuhad instantly established himself as one of the most promising artistes in the Indian independent music scene.
Along with Prateek Kuhad, another Indian band, which will be performing in Delhi is Advaita — a fusion band from the Capital, formed in September 2004.
It is the expression of eight distinct musical sensibilities that dissolve into each other to bring forth a truly unique and ingenious sound. Their music is deeply inspired by the quest to discover rhythms and textures that resonate around us and within us.
