Swooping in on a Zip line? Now that’s a great way to kick off for Sunburn’s 4-day madness. Sunburn 2015 returns for the 9th time, with more madness, more music and more memories to make. The very first day of this fiesta started with thousands of people from all over the world coming together to celebrate the movement electronic dance music has created world over. While the food courts, adventure sports, flea market and exotics bars were packed with party goers, on-site camping- a first time concept in India turned out to be a special experience all of its own. Campers were positioned atop the hills and got a panoramic view of the hysteria of epic proportions that gripped 500,000sq/m.
