Gig Alert: Saarang 2012 Is Back Again!

 

Saarang 2012

Get ready to witness, for the first time in India, VILDHJARTA (which means 'wild hearts'), the Swedish ‘ambidjent’ band.

Performing at the historic Open Air Theatre at IIT Madras, and compared to the likes of MESHUGGAH and TESSERACT, the Swedish Metal band VILDHJARTA promises to deliver one of the greatest nights the country has ever seen. And that’s not all!

BLIND IMAGE - a band who has opened for the Metal giant CRADLE OF FILTH in the past, and one of the most technically proficient bands in the Indian Metal Music scene - SCRIBE shall be turning up the heat to make way for VILDHJARTA to set the stage on fire.

Headbanging has never been this much fun: be there on 21st January at Saarang 2012. It just does NOT get any better than this!

About Saarang:
Saarang is the annual cultural festival of IIT Madras with a footfall of more than 50,000 each year. Saarang 2012 is going to be held from 18th-22nd January 2012.

From the days it was called "Mardi Gras", the annual festival conducted by IIT Madras on its vast and serene campus is forgotten by none who attend it, whether they participate or come to witness the spectacle. Saarang is conducted during the final week of January, and made possible every year by the determined efforts of nearly a thousand students. Drawing more than 20,000 people across all ages, Saarang sets the standard as far as cultural festivals go. With an expected footfall of 50,000, this five-day festival is the traditional meeting place for the young and those young at heart. Saarang is characterized with the days jam-packed with events and competitions, and then the nights where, under the title of Professional Shows, the best professional artistes from India and abroad enthrall the packed Open Air Theater at IIT-M.

Saarang 2011 was held from the 25th to the 29th of January. Events conducted included: Model United Nations (certified by the UN), Adventure Zone, $treet$, Classical Arts Utsav, Buzzer Quiz, Online Playwriting, and Kryptyx. The Professional Shows enthralled one and all with their spectacular performances.

Annual cultural festival of IIT Madras. Also India's only ISO 9001:2008 certified cultural festival!
