MUMBAI: One of the most anticipated dance music festivals, Vh1 Supersonic, has a new home. Scheduled to take place for three days starting from 10 February, the live property, after much assessment, will be held in Pune. Known as ‘Oxford of the East’, the city exudes a vibe of being one large college campus and the cultural capital of Maharashtra.

“Carrying a legacy of offering the best in dance music, we are excited to host the upcoming edition of Vh1 Supersonic in Pune. Deeply-rooted in culture and traditions, the city is known for its openness towards modern influences and thought. Party-goers can enjoy a gamut of experiential activities beyond the mammoth artist line-up across the three days of Vh1 Supersonic. They can lose themselves in numerous hangout zones, filled with fun and adventurous activities, weave through engaging art installations, shop till they drop at flee markets and a lot more!,” said Live Viacom18 head Saugato Bhowmik.

The music festival has brought to India some of the greats from the international world of EDM like Skrillex, Axwell, Zedd, W&W, Steve Aoki Paul Van Dyk, Above & Beyond, The Chainsmokers, Dash Berlin, etc. Moving beyond just three days annual festival, Vh1 Supersonic is also popular for its year long-experience sets through multiple brand extensions; i.e.Vh1 Supersonic Club Nights, Vh1 Supersonic Arcades which enables fans to engage with their favorite artists in their city through the year.

Pune has always had an intrinsic connection with theatre, music, arts and literature and been a centre of learning and research in all fields.
