U/A fest to rock the city

February 12, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 10:28 am IST - NEW DELHI:

After the NH7 Weekender, Delhi is now going to host the U/A festival, which will feature performances by Farhan Akhtar, Boyce Avenue, Tanmay Bhat, Abish Mathew and others.

The event will be held this weekend, February 13-14, at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium near India Gate.

Delhi Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra on Tuesday expressed the government's support towards the U/A festival that heads for its first ever edition this weekend in the Capital. He said that the event is in line with the Delhi government's efforts to promote events and entertainment festivals in the capital.

The U/A festival is introduced by Only Much Louder, the creator of other festivals like NH7 Weekender and Stage42.

The festival promises to feature a diverse mix of experiences - music and comedy performances, a range of carefully picked activities, and specially crafted immersive experiences.

“We are pleased to see new exciting events come to the city of Delhi, which had previously been starved of festivals, events and performances. The single window clearance system, the Delhi Government’s crackdown on corruption and every single Minister’s personal commitment to buy tickets instead of getting 'VIP Passes' has incentivized the event industry to come back to Delhi,” Mr. Mishra told reporters on Tuesday. “I thank them for reposing their faith in us and hope that every event company makes Delhi, their cultural headquarters,” he said.
