After nearly two decades of being synonymous with Goa, the festival shifts to Mumbai for its 2025 edition. Expect three nights of world-class electronic dance music (EDM), massive production, global DJs, and an immersive party experience.
This article gives you a detailed, up-to-date breakdown of everything you need to know: from dates and venue, to travel, tickets, lineup, and stay – so you can plan your Sunburn 2025 experience in Mumbai with confidence.
Sunburn Mumbai 2025 — Venue, Dates, and Lineup
Dates & Venue
- The festival runs December 19-21, 2025.
- Venue: Infinity Bay, Sewri – Timber Pond Plot, MPT, Sewri, below Atal Setu, Mumbai 400015.
- This marks the first time a full-scale Sunburn festival is being held in Mumbai instead of Goa.
Lineup & Artists
The festival will feature a “star-studded” international and local lineup across genres — from EDM and progressive house to techno:
Confirmed major performers:
- David Guetta — performing as part of his globally acclaimed The Monolith Tour.
- Sara Landry — making her India debut; known globally as a top “hard-techno” DJ.
- Axwell — will headline the final day (Dec 21) of the festival.
- Above & Beyond — confirmed among the act roster, bringing melodic trance & progressive house vibes.
Beyond these headliners, expect a broader set of techno and EDM-genre artists, making the festival a blend of mainstream dance music and underground-style sets.
Tickets
Tickets for Sunburn Mumbai 2025 start at around INR 3,000 and scale all the way to premium luxury packages priced above INR 1,00,000, offering fans options from basic entry to exclusive lounge and VIP experiences.
How to Reach Infinity Bay, Sewri — Travel / Commute Tips
- The venue address: Timber Pond Plot, MPT, Sewri — below the Atal Setu.
- Sewri is fairly well-connected via Mumbai’s transport network. Given Mumbai’s suburban local trains and city roads, fans coming from South Bombay or Navi Mumbai should plan their commute accordingly.
- If travelling from suburban or Navi Mumbai areas, it might be wise to leave early, since weekend traffic can be heavy, especially around Sewri / Atal Setu.
Pro tip: Book lodging close to Sewri or South Mumbai to avoid long daily commutes – especially if you plan late-night returns.
What’s New — Goa to Mumbai: The Location Change & What It Means
- For 18 years, Sunburn was strongly associated with Goa’s beach-party vibe. 2025 marks the first full shift of Sunburn to Mumbai.
- The move was driven by logistical challenges in Goa and the desire to tap into Mumbai’s metropolitan infrastructure, accessibility, and larger potential audience.
- Organisers promise that while the setting changes from beaches to cityscape, the signature energy – music, production scale, immersive experiences – will remain intact or even elevated.
For many longtime Sunburn fans, the move may feel emotional – but for Mumbai’s nightlife lovers, it’s a landmark shift that brings global-level EDM culture right to their doorstep.
What to Expect Off-Stage: Experience, Amenities & After-Party Scene
- Expect high-end production: top-notch stage setups, immersive lighting, visuals, crowd management, and a mix of global and local vibe typical of big international festivals.
- Premium tickets (VIP/Fanpit/lounge) likely come with enhanced comfort: better vantage, possibly AC restrooms or lounges, better food & beverage access (based on past Sunburn formats).
- Given the venue is in Mumbai (not a beach), expect city-scale amenities – easier access to hotels, rideshares or cab services, public transport – but also usual city-challenges like traffic, crowding, and limited “festival-camping” vibe.
- There may be after-party events or “chill-zones” curated for VIP / lounge ticket holders; but for beach-party-style camps and sunset vibes (as in Goa), that won’t be the same.
What This Edition Means for EDM Fans — Headliners & Expectations
With the lineup and city location, Sunburn 2025 seems to strike a balance between mainstream EDM appeal and underground / techno-based depth:
- David Guetta (Monolith Tour) brings the commercial dance music crowd.
- Sara Landry’s India debut means the festival is catering to hardcore techno/hard-house fans – expect raw, immersive, darker DJ sets.
- The inclusion of artists like Axwell and Above & Beyond shows Sunburn wants to keep its progressive-house/trance heritage alive, while also expanding into newer global EDM sounds.
For festival-goers: this could be one of the most diverse and high-profile EDM weekends in India’s 2025 music calendar.
Summing Up
Sunburn Mumbai 2025 brings India’s biggest EDM festival to Infinity Bay, Sewri, for the first time. With David Guetta, Axwell, Above & Beyond, and Sara Landry headlining, expect massive production, diverse genres, and premium experiences. Easy travel, city stays, and vibrant afterparties make this three-day edition unmissable for EDM fans.
