As the year draws to a close, Goa’s beaches are gearing up for Sunburn Goa 2024, Asia’s largest electronic dance music (EDM) festival. Taking place from December 28th to 30th in Dhargalim, this 18th edition promises a heady mix of music, experiences, and culture. Here’s what awaits you this year.
Sea-Themed Festival
The festival theme draws inspiration from the underwater world. From neon flowers in the ‘Garden in the Sea’ to jellyfish-like umbrellas, the décor sets the tone for an aquatic escape. Installations reflecting ocean hues make this a selfie lover’s haven. Breaks between sets come with spaces designed for lounging and connecting with fellow festival-goers.
A Line-up to Keep You Moving
The stage is set for global heavyweights like Skrillex, Peggy Gou, Yellow Claw, and KSHMR. Rising star ARGY and India’s Sartek bring unique vibes, with Sartek’s folk house stage blending Indian sounds with EDM beats. The festival also hosts MRAK, whose visual performances aim to mesmerise, and Almost Human, curating a stage with an otherworldly vibe. Each set promises something distinct, keeping the energy high and the music flowing.
Shop Till You Drop at the Flea Market
Sunburn’s flea market channels Goa’s signature charm. Ten curated stalls bring together local boutiques and artists, offering everything from accessories to festival-ready apparel. Whether it’s boho-chic designs or quirky keepsakes, the market has it all. Find that perfect piece to complete your festival outfit or take home something unique.
