Nisha Narayanan, COO and director at Red FM and Magic FM, looks back at building a boutique festival with a niche audience. \u201cGiven the overwhelming response in the previous years, we have extended the festival to a two-day celebration this time. There is also a special edition, South Side Story Spotlight, which will invite fans on stage to show their talent.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Red FM had also invited independent musicians this June to apply for a contest that offered a chance to perform at the festival. The organisers revealed that a total of 294 people applied, of which two will be shortlisted to perform at the festival.<\/p>\n
