A lot of effort went in to making the event a success right from selection of the new venue to giving Sunburn fans a curated experience. Not only was it a first for us with the venue, this was the first year that we introduced 31st December as a part of the four day celebration. We had one of the best artist line ups that the country has witnessed and were overwhelmed by the response we received from our fans. We’re happy that the efforts were recognized by BW APPLAUSE committee and are delighted to have received Gold in the Best Music category and a Silver in the ‘Best Social Media Amplification’ genre. We have aggressive plans for this year and some big announcements lined up.”
