Clap, sing, shout

Just as they did last year, with the ‘Together at Razz’ announcement
party, organisers Only Much Louder (OML) are organising a free gig —
called the Loudest Day of the Year party — that will also act as the
platform for announcements about the third edition of the NH7 Weekender
festival.
Saturday’s free gig, to be held at Liberty Cinema, Marine Lines, will include performances by Shantanu Moitra and Swanand Kirkire, who featured on The Dewarists Season 1; The Collective featuring Girish Bobby Talwar ( Zero), Warren Mendonca (Zero/Blackstratblues), Ankur Tewari, Siddharth Basrur (Goddess Gagged), Uday Benegal (Indus Creed), and poprock act Spud in the Box.

Eager music-lovers will also get a sneak-peek into the
collaborations, featuring artists and first episode of the second season
of music-travelogue TV show The Dewarists by Dewar’s.
The venue is set to be a treat in itself; this will be the first music event ever held at Liberty Cinema, a Mumbai institution that was recently restored. Unlike last year, this announcement party will be a sit-down event, with the theatre’s food-and-drinks counter doubling as a bar.
As for NH7 Weekender, this time the multi-genre festival is also travelling to Delhi (October 13 and 14) and Bangalore (December 15 and 16).
“At Saturday’s party, we will reveal details about our stages, venues and headlining acts,” says Vijay Nair, CEO of Only Much Louder. “We will have new experience areas this year, lots of installation art, and a new stage called Fully Fantastic.”
