As India's concert culture grows, there are new music festivals that are emerging every other month, and it is only going to get bigger and better from here.
While these festivals take place, there are many festivals that have stood the test of time over the years. Interestingly, in a major boost to India's music concert culture, DJ Mag has named Sunburn Festival on No 8 of its ‘Top 100 Festivals of 2025’ list.
Voted by fans from across the world, it is the music festival's highest-ever ranking on the global stage.
Since its inception in 2007, the music festival has been known for its music festival experience with global artists visiting India and exposing Indian music lovers to different kinds of genres.
Coming at a time when they are in their 18th edition this year, Karan Singh, CEO of the festival says, “We are incredibly proud to see Sunburn Festival recognised as one of the top 10 festivals in the world and as the leading music festival in Asia. Securing the #8 spot in DJ Magazine's Top 100 Festivals is a tribute to the dedication of our team and the unwavering support of our fans. This recognition fuels our passion to continue pushing boundaries and creating unforgettable experiences at Sunburn. A big shout out and thank you to all fans, artists, government authorities, brand partners, and the DJ Mag team. It means a lot."
The music festival's rise to number 8 places it among the world’s most iconic festivals such as Tomorrowland, Ultra, EDC Las Vegas, Creamfields, and Coachella.
With preparations already underway for the 2025 edition, international artists who have performed at Sunburn’s flagship festivals and Arena shows in India have reacted to the ranking.
