Day 3: Fun Goes On…

                  “There's music in the sighing of a reed;
                   There's music in the gushing of a rill;
                   There's music in all things, if men had ears:
                   Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.”
                                         -Lord Byron

The Day 3 of TGIOF was the most awaited and highly hyped event of this year for its renowned International and national music artists lined up to perform live. Poets Of The Fall was the highlight of the The Great Indian October Fest. Music lovers and fans from all over the country came to Bangalore just to watch it perform. International DJs Super8 & Tab were other favorites of the crowd. 

Adam & Fish Eyed Poets opened the day with their lovely blues, followed by alternative/rock by Goddess Gagged, mind-blowing Metal by Jagged Surge, beautiful Sufi Rock by PralayH, Rock/Heavy Metal, Reggae, Hiphop by Molotov Cocktail, Little Babooshka’s Grind, Lou Majaw & Friends, Kryptos, Rock by Finnish Band Poets Of The Fall, House & Trance by International DJs Super8 & Tab, and Bollywood by DJ Chico with visuals by VJ Kaycee.

People thronged the stage to get a closer look at their beloved artists and danced to their tunes. With beer in hand, friends to accompany, open air field to roam around, people forgot all bonds and became one with the music. They shopped at the flea market, bought funky wigs, hats and various headdresses, savored exquisite cuisines at the food court all the while gliding with the music and getting drunk on the elixir of life – Beer. 

Bangalore witnessed a musical phenomenon at a time when it’s live performances & night life is in danger. The Great Indian October Fest brought with it a new hope, a promise of unlimited Fun, Beer and Music, a revival of its fiery spirit. The city now eagerly awaits its return.
