1. A Festival Built on a Mind-Blowing Theme: The Sixth Sense
This year’s edition dives into nature’s hidden intelligence — how birds navigate continents, how trees “decide” to bloom, how ecosystems speak in signals we’re only beginning to decode. It’s not just a theme; it’s a full sensory universe waiting to be explored.
2. Music That Feels Like Discovery
Echoes has always been the place to find your next obsession. 2025’s lineup turns that dial to max, with artists who treat sound like storytelling — from Monolink’s atmospheric wanderings to Stavroz’s cinematic jazz-house and Circle of Live’s once-in-a-lifetime improvisations. Every set is its own planet.
3. Global Artists. Local Roots. Zero Repetition.
Where else will you find Bottlesmoker making instruments out of plants, Grayssoker reinventing the accordion, and Jatayu welding Carnatic DNA to jazz and math-rock? Echoes is where cultures overlap and genres melt into something brand-new.
4. Asia’s Most Environmentally Progressive Music Festival
Certified by A Greener Future, Echoes isn’t just green — it’s circular. Stages, art, installations, festival assets… all built from repurposed materials. Sustainability isn’t a side-note here; it’s the operating system.
5. Art That Doesn’t Just Look Good — It Teaches
Every installation is built from upcycled materials and tells a story about the planet. Expect large-scale sculptures, immersive environments, and visual narratives that make you think, feel, and care.
6. Rare, Exclusive Performances You Won’t See Anywhere Else
Circle of Live comes to India for the first time ever with a completely improvised, never-to-be-repeated performance. Submotion Orchestra returns after nearly a decade. These moments are truly once-in-history.
7. Deep, Meaningful Environmental Storytelling
Echoes isn’t just about good vibes — it’s about informed joy. Panels, workshops, and sessions curated with WWF-India and Roundglass Sustain help audiences explore biodiversity, conservation, and the intelligence of ecosystems in fresh, accessible ways.
8. The Greener Side: Impact Beyond the Festival
This year, Echoes takes its mission year-round. Expect community projects, school programs, creative collaborations, and hands-on workshops that nurture real-world change long after the music stops.
9. Partnerships That Actually Mean Something
From Absolut’s celebration of inclusivity to Corona’s nature-forward ethos, from WWF-India’s conservation expertise to Bengaluru Airport’s cultural programming — every partnership adds depth, storytelling, and purpose. It’s collaboration done right.
10. A Space That Welcomes Everyone
Families, kids, pets, first-timers, seasoned gig-trekkers — Echoes is designed as a safe, open, inclusive world. Four stunning stages, interactive learning zones, kids’ workshops, an artist brunch, and a curated eco-market… it’s more than a festival; it’s a community in motion.
