“We’re thrilled that our second edition is bigger than the first. We aim to provide a platform that pushes bands and artists that we feel really need to be heard. We know our Bangalore audiences are hungry for good music, and this year it’s great to be expanding the festival to Mumbai. Bigger platform, more variety. See you there,” says The Humming Tree Founder Nikhil Barua.
