KINGFISHER PubRockFest 2008

The biggest nation-wide music festival celebrating the culture of live bands is back with an even bigger platform than ever before.

Scheduled for 3 Rocking Months (May-July 2008) at the best Pubs across the country.

The concept of Pubrockfest was initiated by Rock Street Journal in 2005, when a humble beginning was made with a 4 gig festival featuring 12 bands in Delhi. It marked the beginnings of a club rock culture in the Capital, which sustained beyond the festival. Last year, KINGFISHER Pubrockfest was taken to 7 cities and 30 gigs. This year, it is bigger than ever, going into 20 cities and 60 gigs over May, June and July.

KINGFISHER Pubrockfest this year will see some of the greatest names in the music circuit, along with many new acts and two international acts touring the country.
