MUMBAI: Seagram’s Royal Stag is back with the second edition of Royal Stag BoomBox, a unique musical festival blending Bollywood melodies with hip-hop beats. The festival aims to celebrate the spirit of ‘Living it Large’ by bringing together two distinct genres to create the original sound of today’s generation, the Generation Large.
This cultural movement will unfold in two engaging formats:
1. On-ground format: The festival will travel to four major youth hubs – Bhubaneswar, Indore, Jaipur, and Pune.
