Here's your chance to soak in gigs from around the world, dig into some grub while you sip up the magical brew

If beer is your chosen poison, it hardly gets bigger and better than this. The Great Indian Octoberfest is back in town and brings you music, music and more music with lots of beer to boot. Octoberfest 2010 has indeed raised the bar higher by bringing in a line-up of international and coveted national bands across genres. From the city's very own folk rock boys Swarathama to the Italian metal band Lacuna Coil, this fest promises you a musical ride like never before and oodles and oodles of beer.

The guide takes you through the three days of music, food and knocking back endless mugs of chilled beer. Cheers to that we say!

It just might take a bit of effort to get him off stage, as this DJ is in the Guinness Book of world records for playing at the World's Longest Dance Party in New Delhi, which went on for 55 hours.
