As music fans gear up for the 8th Edition of BACARDÍ NH7 Weekender in Meghalaya (Oct 27-28) and Pune (Dec 08-10), there’s more good news for them in other cities. These are one-day concerts featuring several artists across genres, to bring the festival experience to new cities across India.

This is the second year for the
BACARDÍ NH7 Express editions, which took place in five cities last year.

“As we keep doing the festival year after year, there are two trends that we see – increasingly, there are people traveling from other cities to come to the main events, and there are more and more people asking us to bring the festival to their cities. It’s bolstered our belief that an audience exists in cities across India. The Express editions are a great way of giving this audience a taste of what the full BACARDÍ NH7 Weekender experience is like!”, says Vijay Nair, CEO and founder of OML Entertainment, that organizes the festival. “The response to the Express editions last year was overwhelming. Hence a decision to expand to more cities was an easy one to take.”
