Ziro Valley Music Festival

History of the Ziro Valley Music Festival
Started in 2012 by Bobby Hanno and Anup Kutty, this music festival has garnered immense popularity. It is one of the most awaited and sought after music festivals in the country which receives tourists not only from India, but many other countries. In fact, one will see more foreigners dancing to the tunes than Indians! Apart from artists like F 16s, Madboy, Gramlines (this year there are 35 artists performing from across the world), one will be equally awestruck by beautiful performances by the local artists.
