Conceptualized by LIVE Viacom18 in association with Vh1, Emerge is a platform that brings fresh music and art ideas for hungry fans of new experiences. The festival will also showcase some of the best sculptures, art installations and live art by talented artistes across the country.Β At the very core of EMERGE is a forum where young fans can expect an experience like no other, where they will be able to truly open their minds and have a chance to discover something unique, something that will blow their mind – you could find your favourite new band, favourite new dancer and painter at the festival.Β 

In two short years, Alt-JΒ have established themselves as one of the UK’s most innovative new acts, breaking down musical barriers in a manner comparable with the likes of Pink Floyd and Radiohead at their peak. Another group among UK’s finest exports includes Rudimental (who will be performing a DJ set), who have spectacularly stepped out of their drum and bass cocoon and become one of the best genre-blenders on the globe.Β 

Commenting on this power-packed concept, Mr. Jaideep Singh, Sr. Vice President and Business Head – INS, Viacom18 Pvt. Ltd. said,

β€œAt LIVE Viacom18, we always aim at going beyond norms and experiment with new forms ofΒ  music & entertainment. In India, live concerts and dance music have evolved and we can see people’s affinity to art as well. We challenged the norm with our flagship property Vh1Supersonic last year. This year, by blending music and art, two of the most creative forms of expression, we envision a new experience for the creative soul. The response in the past two years has been overwhelming and I am certain that this year will be exceptional.”
