Over the years, I-Rock is known for offering budding talent a platform to showcase and nurture their talent. Last year the fest underwent a huge change by rechristening the iconic name to MTV Independence Rock’ and introducing new segment ‘MTS Red Energy Wild Card Entry’. For the first time, the band selections were taken place through public voting unlike the previous edition wherein the hated jury was involved. The bands were judged on their talents, quality performance and originality.
