The GIFLIF Indiestaan Music Festival, started in 2015, is a multi-city youth festival held in Gurgaon, Bhopal and Raipur. Organised by White Walls Media, the festival accommodates talks, film screenings, music concerts, plays, poetry recitals, storytelling sessions and book discussions among several other events. Writers Devdutt Pattanaik, Gulzar, Javed Akhtar and Ruskin Bond and actors Rajat Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Taapsee Pannu and Vinay Pathak are among those who have been part of the festival over the years.
The bands to have played the event include Alif, Agnee, Ballimaaraan, Indian Ocean, Kabir Café and Parvaaz. On account of the pandemic, the GIFLIF Indiestaan Music Festival was held in different avatars, at a drive-in in Bhopal in February 2021 (Drive-In Music Fest) and March 2022 (GIFLIF Comedy and Music Festival).
The festival, now in its 5th edition of the music festival IP, marks a significant milestone by bringing a fresh wave of indie rock bands to Gurugram. GIFLIF Indiestaan sets out to diversify the city's music landscape, which has been dominated by techno, club, and Bollywood music.
