Covelong Point Music Festival IndiEarth XChange
If you’re looking for a surf and beach getaway, there’s
nothing better than to double up with some music to fit
the mood. Chennai’s Covelong Point festival boasted a
myriad mix of genres from international acts like Natalia
to tribal music and regional favourites like Thaikkudam
Bridge. The lineups are categorized into the simplified
and intimate Acoustic stage, the massive and energetic
Beach stage, and the soulful and heartwarming Yoga
Shala Stage.
Considering all of this, we’re definitely looking forward
to a colourful August next year, with tentative dates
scheduled as 26th to 28th. Indie events that comprise of something entertaining for
everybody aren’t easy to come by. Chennai’s XChange,
however, provides not just for a stunning live concert
experience, but also a platform for the public and
professionals alike to conduct workshops, showcase their
products and enjoy live screenings. This year’s lineup
comprised of artists from across the country, along
with crowd-pleasing favorites like Nucleya and Vidya
Shah. Classical, folk, roots, electronic and world music
dominated this year’s vibe. We’re definitely looking
forward to November of next year to experience this
again.
