Saputara Monsoon Festival 2026

Government of Gujarat Saputara, Dang 14 August 2026 Main stage

Saputara is Gujarat’s only hill station, high in the Sahyadri hills of the Dang. Every August the state tourism department turns it into the Monsoon Festival, three weeks of music, tribal craft and culture that pulls visitors from across India. The 2026 edition ran from 8 to 29 August.

We were invited back to the main stage and played on 14 August, the night before Independence Day, on full festival production: LED wall, moving lights and a pavilion crowd.

Our second year running on the Monsoon Festival main stage.

Saputara Monsoon Festival 2025

Top 5 performing bands Saputara, Dang 14 August 2025 Festival debut

The first time we played it. The 2025 festival ran from 26 July to 17 August and we took the main stage on 14 August, again on the eve of Independence Day.

This was the show that changed what people expected of us: a government festival stage, a full pavilion, and a set that moved from Bollywood to Gujarati folk to fusion without losing the room.

Recognised among the top 5 performing bands of the 2025 festival.

Hillside Sunset Concert, Dang

With Lost Compass Motoclub Dang hills June 2026 Open air

No auditorium. No banquet hall. We carried the full rig up a hillside in the Dang and played as the sun went down, alongside Lost Compass Motoclub, a South Gujarat riders’ community who describe themselves as passionate riders living the spirit of freedom on two wheels.

The audience rode in. There was no barricade and no stage, just a slope, the hills behind us and the light going orange. When it got dark, phone torches took over from the stage lights.

One of the most unusual and best-loved shows we have played.

Cafes and Clubs

AntiSocial, Lower Parel Mumbai & Valsad 2023 to 2025 Live & jamming

AntiSocial, Lower Parel is one of the best venues in Mumbai for live music and jamming, part of the well known Social chain. Playing that room put us in front of a city crowd who had never heard of us and stayed anyway.

Closer to home, Foodaholic Cafe in Valsad is the other end of the same craft: a small room, an attentive crowd and a stripped-back set where every mistake is audible. We have been playing rooms like it since 2023.

Corporate Events

Annual days Brand nights May 2025 Custom setlist

Annual days, brand launches, offsites and company celebrations. These are the shows where the run-of-show matters as much as the music: we work to your schedule, keep the volume where the room needs it, and build the setlist around who is actually in the audience.

Full nine-piece production or a stripped-back acoustic trio, with sound and setup included either way.

Diwali, New Year and Open Concerts

Bestu Varas Tithal, Valsad Nov 2025 & May 2026 Free entry

Instead of waiting to be invited, we started putting on our own. Every year we set up in the busiest part of town to welcome Bestu Varas with live music. No tickets, no passes, no guest list. Families, friends and children, music playing and fireworks overhead.

The same thinking took us to open gigs on Tithal beach in Valsad, playing to whoever happened to be there that evening.

These nights are not really concerts. They are celebrations, and they are some of our favourites.

Weddings, Receptions and Sangeet

Sangeet nights Receptions Feb & Nov 2025 Across India

The work that keeps us on the road. Instrumental lagna geet, DJ sets driven by live percussion, custom entry music, and a sangeet floor that does not sit down. Every family’s playlist is different, so every set is built from scratch.

We travel anywhere in India for these, and overseas for destination weddings.

The Line-up

Nine-plus musicians Valsad, Gujarat Since 2021 One family

None of the rooms on this page work without the people in them. This is the core crew, plus a rotating cast of guest musicians who step in depending on the gig.

We have always wanted the band to be a platform, not a closed shop. If you play, and you are serious about it, there is a stage here for you.
