Music fest Holi Moo! to return to Delhi, Hyderabad

The 11th edition of multi-genre music festival Holi Moo! is set to take place here on March 13. The fest, which expanded to Hyderabad last year, will also return for another edition.

While details for the Hyderabad edition will be announced soon, Holi Moo Barn at Asiad Tower Lawns here will once again host the day-long festival.

Organised by Trifecta Pvt. Ltd., Holi Moo! has grown from a modest, informal, jamming session at a farmhouse among a few musicians in 2006 to a multi-genre, multi-stage music festival.

"Right from its inception, the dream of this festival has been to create a creative eco-system that is inclusive and an experience that is ultra-vibrant. This year's Holi Moo! festival marks another successful peg in the evolution of the festival as we seed collaborations not just with artists but with leading tastemakers of our scene," the organisers of Holi Moo! said in a statement.

Inspired by Holi, Holi Moo! combines the traditional revelry of the festival of colours with a mix of music, art and culture.

For Holi Moo! Delhi, like every year, there will be multiple stages showcasing different genres -- world music, indie, electronica and hip-hop.

Each stage has been curated by industry tastemakers, ensuring names and sounds that are exciting and established.

This time, the world music stage will be an all-women one with some of the country's leading artists performing.

The indie stage, which over the years has showcased new sounds and collaborations, has been curated by cultural hub and Hauz Khas Village venue Roost.

Alternative culture specialists and online music magazine Wild City will assemble the line-up for the electronica stage.

The fourth stage, for the first time, will introduce the sounds of hip-hop, reggae, dancehall and trap.
