Musicathon, a festival that began with humble beginnings in 2019 with just two artists and a small audience of ten at Musafir Cafe, has now become one of India's most happening independent events. This year's edition, Musicathon 10.0, promises to be a mesmerizing experience for music enthusiasts and travellers alike. With over 3,000 attendees and more than 100 independent artists from all over the country, the festival has become the ultimate platform for emerging Indie artists.

The festival has also become synonymous with eco-friendliness, and this year's edition will showcase a collection of artists who share a passion for music, poetry, travel, and the environment. The serene surroundings of Bir, Himachal Pradesh, and the stunning Dhauladhar range provide the perfect backdrop for the festival, where attendees can find peace amidst the chaos of daily life.

A Starry Affair 

Headlined by the talented Khalid Ahamed, frontman of the popular band Parvaaz, Musicathon 10.0 promises to be an unforgettable experience. He will perform his latest release, Khairiyat Se, from the Hansal Mehta directorial, Faraaz, among other tracks. The festival will also feature diverse artists, including Salman Elahi, Rahgir, Anurag Vashisht, Arjan Singh, and Hindustani classical vocalist Akanksha Grover. Attendees will also be captivated by Nayab Midha's spoken word poetry and Buland Himalay's tunes. To add to the excitement, there will be a stand-up comedy act by Mohit Morani.
