Get ready to witness one of the best music festivals again as the Grand Mahindra Independence Rock is returning this year. It will be the 29th edition of the Independence Rock which will be hosted in Mumbai. The Rock music festival made its comeback last year after a nine-long-year gap. On November 4 and 5, 2023, Mumbai’s Bayview Lawns will be the scene of a raucous reunion of headbanging and moshing rock enthusiasts.

The Mahindra I-Rock will showcase rock subgenres that traverse national boundaries by extending its sonic landscape throughout the entire nation. From the north and the northeast to the west and south, as well as crossing borders to Nepal, Mahindra I-Rock seeks to bring and unite diverse sounds of rock to its stage. Mahindra Independence Rocks’ 29th edition is gearing up to maintain the festival’s splendour and grandeur and live up to its reputation as a national phenomenon pushing the Indian rock community to take the genre to the next level.

Old-school thrash, death metal, genre-defying rock and reggae, true glam metal from the 1980s, and a fusion of Indian classical and folk music including the mridangam and flute with guitar riffs and throbbing percussion will all be represented at the festival.

According to an article the founder of Independence Rock, Farhad Wadia said, “Since the 80s, the festival has provided a platform to launch careers of several huge names in the rock fraternity, and it has sparked an everlasting spirit among rockers across India. This stage is where it all began! Mahindra I-Rock is not just a festival; it has become a meaningful movement. And movements never die - they are recorded in history. They not only continue to inspire future generations but are also reborn over and over. Mahindra I-Rock is one such movement that I hope continues to inspire the new gen to express themselves uninhibitedly through rock and live on.”
