As western music continues to mesmerise Indian masses, festival organisers in the country are going to great lengths to bring international artistes on Indian shores. After having roped in the likes of American artistes Flo Rida and Alan Walker to perform alongside Indian musicians, including Arijit Singh, Farhan Akhtar, Badshah and Papon, at last year’s edition, Enchanted Valley Carnival, a multi-genre music festival, is set to spread its wings wider this year.

Devraj Sanyal, MD and CEO of Universal Music Group India and South Asia, says, "This event will be better. We promise to have big artistes on board."
