Musicathon – Music Festival in the Mountains
Launched in 2019, Musicathon-Music Festival in the Mountains, is a festival organised by artist manager Gaurav Kumar Kushwaha which showcases musical acts by emerging artists from various parts of the country. Tucked in the serene landscape of Bir, Himachal Pradesh, with a stunning backdrop of the Dhauladhar range, the festival is attended by music lovers from across the world. The festival explores a diverse range of music genres, and offers an overarching immersive experience that blends travelling, camping, and music. Musicathon is put together with the efforts of the local community, talented independent musicians and a bunch of people driven by a common passion for music, poetry and a desire for self-discovery. The eighth and last edition of the festival featured a stellar artist lineup of singers-songwriters, including Arjan Singh, Bittle Singh, Buland Himalay, Himanshu Chavan, Nilotpal Bora, Priyanshu Paliwal, Punit Singh, and Ramil Ganjoo, the duos Khwabida and 2 Capos, and the bands Healing Roots and The Khalnayaks.
