The Lost Fireflies, one of Lucknow’s woman-fronted bands will conclude day one with a melodious performance.
Day two of the event will feature ‘Melange’, GIM’s fashion showcase, where students will demonstrate their creative vision and artistic sensibilities. The event will conclude with a headline performance by Bengaluru’s acclaimed progressive fusion ensemble, Pineapple Express, celebrated for their innovative fusion of traditional rhythms with contemporary musical expressions.

The festival’s anticipation was heightened through two precursor events – a musical performance by ‘OxyGIM’, the institute’s band, followed by the strategic unveiling of the event’s beverage partner.
