DELHI (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Delhi is all set to host India's largest music festival, the Eastwind Nun Usual Music Festival, from the 22nd to the 24th of February, 2008.

Eastwind organizers state that the festival aims to fill in the void that exists for that one large music festival that needs to be held annually and provide every participating band the opportunity of gaining some exposure to prospective fans. The band-list is an diverse mix of veteran bands such as Parikrama, Thermal And A Quarter and Them Clones and younger bands such as Half Step Down, Cyanide and Advaita amongst others.
Commenting on the festival, Adhiraj Mustafi, Managing Director, Prospect A&M said, "The Indian music industry has come a long way in the last few years. Every year we see more and more international artists coming to India to perform their original music. We at Prospect believe that the Indian music fraternity is not far behind them. They too have successfully been a part of many shows featuring their own music." He added, "The Eastwind Festival is a tribute to these very artistes and will undoubtedly be the best platform for bands to be recognised, appreciated and respected for their true identity"
Apart from the performances, Eastwind will also feature a range of other activities. As part of the festival, workshops will be held by musicians and an exhibition is being held that will feature the best equipment, accessories and instruments available in the country for musicians as well as a vendor area and a space for music industry oriented businesses to set up shop at the event. – CelebrityAccess Staff Writers
