Sunburn Festival, Asia’s largest and most iconic electronic dance music (EDM) festival, has officially announced its flagship 2025 edition in Mumbai, marking a significant moment in India’s music and live entertainment history. The three-day festival will be held on December 19th, 20th and 21st, 2025, bringing the signature Sunburn experience to India’s entertainment capital for the first time.

Founded in 2007, Sunburn transformed Goa into a global music tourism hub and became a symbol of India’s love for electronic music. Now, after nearly two decades and a vibrant legacy, the festival embarks on a bold new journey to Mumbai, a city that reflects its scale, diversity and unrelenting energy.

This strategic shift follows a fan-driven vision. A recent survey revealed that 1 in 2 fans wanted the flagship festival outside Goa, with Mumbai emerging as the top choice. This year's relocation is also timely, given Sunburn’s ascent on the global stage, having secured the #8 spot on DJ Mag’s ‘Top 100 Festivals of 2025’, solidifying its place in global dance music culture.

Sunburn’s 2025 theme, ‘Ascend: Beyond the Real’, reflects its evolution into a multidimensional festival that transcends music. The new creative direction promises a surreal journey through sound, light, and space that inviting fans to experience an alternate realm where frequency and energy fuse into immersive magic.

Exclusive Pre-Sale for RuPay Credit Card holders opens on August 12th at 12 PM (Noon), followed by General On-Sale on August 14th at 12 PM (Noon), available via BookMyShow, India’s leading entertainment ticketing platform.

Karan Singh, CEO of Sunburn, shared,

“Goa will always be an integral part of our story, but building a legacy also means growing beyond boundaries. Mumbai’s creative pulse and youth culture make it the perfect canvas for Sunburn’s next chapter. With the support of the Government of Maharashtra, we are proud to help shape Mumbai’s rise as India’s festival capital.”

Atul Patne, Principal Secretary of Tourism, Government of Maharashtra, added,

“By bringing landmark experiences like Sunburn to Mumbai, we are nurturing a vibrant music tourism economy. Sunburn’s arrival is a major step in reinforcing Maharashtra as a cultural and entertainment powerhouse.”

Sunburn has a rich history with Mumbai. It was here that the festival hosted Avicii’s breakthrough set in 2011, Swedish House Mafia’s 25,000-strong show in 2013, and Martin Garrix’s massive 50,000-fan concert in 2018. These landmark moments cemented the city’s deep connection to Sunburn’s DNA.

The 2025 edition promises everything Sunburn is loved for international headliners, homegrown talent, cutting-edge stage design, and world-class production. From David Guetta and DJ Snake to Skrillex, Tiësto, and The Chainsmokers, Sunburn’s stages have always hosted the best in the business.

Now, with its move to Mumbai, the festival levels up once more, promising stronger infrastructure, enhanced accessibility, and the unmatched spirit of a city that lives and breathes music.
