Gully Fest, Mumbai’s premier hip-hop music festival, is set to return for its second edition on October 26-27 at the Nesco Center in Goregaon. The festival will feature international hip-hop luminary Pusha T as a headliner, alongside DIVINE, the festival’s founder, and a lineup of notable artists.
This year’s festival boasts performances from Gully Gang All Stars, Prabh Deep, Lisa Mishra, Sambata, Yashraj, Gravity, Bombay Bassment, Reble, DJ Proof, DJ Kan-i, OG Shez, and Beatraw x D-Cypher. The event celebrates the rise of Indian hip-hop, which has evolved from street culture to mainstream prominence since its debut in 2018.
Founded by the multi-platinum artist DIVINE, whose real name is Vivian Fernandes, Gully Fest aims to honor the genre’s journey from its grassroots beginnings to its current status as a major cultural force. With the theme ‘Hip-Hop Mere Gully Mein,’ the festival will explore the genre’s origins and its impact on contemporary culture, reflecting on how varsity and university influences have shaped hip-hop’s development over the years.
