Every music festival has its own charm and Johnnie Walker The Journey’s strength probably lies in the fact that it wants to inspire its audiences.

“While curating this festival, our emphasis was on finding individuals with phenomenal back stories as we felt that their journeys had to be as inspiring and progressive as the festival itself, which includes music, film and performing arts,” says Bhavesh Somaya, marketing and innovative director, Diageo India, the organiser of the event, which launched last year.

This year, the festival will host a performance by Dislocate, an acrobatic aerial theatre group founded by Kate Fryer and Geoff Dunstan in 1997 and a screening of the film, One Chance, based on Welsh singer Paul Pott and his quest to win the first season of Britain's Got Talent in 2007.
