The final edition of the Bacardi NH7 Weekender 2015 came to an end last night, and it was nothing short of incredible. And we have pictures to prove it!
The happiest music festival had an amazing run this year, with the lineup ranging from homegrown Indian genius A.R Rahman to the brilliant electronic producer and rapper Flying Lotus. 5 years after the happiest music festival began in Pune, it has grown into this phenomenal display of multi-genre talent from all around the world. This year’s Weekender Pune could do no wrong, and here’s why.
1. The pleasantly cool weather in Pune combined with the beautiful venue made for an amazing backdrop.
2. People were really getting in the mood for some serious musical feels
