Get set to rock as the Grammy nominated American alternative rock band takes the stage as the headlining act of the show. While they have performed in India before, this will be the first time they hit the Indian stage in a rock music festival. The band has toured extensively and built a strong fan base in India for their music, which fuses elements of alternative, psychedelic and post-rock. Mutemath is known all over the world for their unique style of performance. Their concerts often see Paul Meany (lead singer and keyboardist) indulge in crowd-surfing and piano-headstands among many other stunts.

2. Rajputana Customs showcases the first ever Harley-Davidson Street™ 750 built by an independent custom bike builder in India

Motorcycle enthusiasts are in for a treat at Harley Rock Riders-Season V on November 15-16, 2014 with Rajputana Customs showcasing the first ever Harley-Davidson Street™ 750 built by an independent custom bike builder in India. Launched earlier this year at Auto Expo 2014, the Street™ 750 is an ideal motorcycle that provides a blank canvas to owners to customize it as per their own idea of personal freedom. The final bike will be displayed at the festival and motorcycle enthusiasts can expect to see an organic, old-school inspired custom version of the popular Street™ 750. Incidentally, this isn’t Rajputana Customs’ first tryst with customizing Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Vijay has previously customized a Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight and Harley-Davidson Iron 883.

If the music isn’t enough to mesmerize you, the roar of the Harley-Davidson motorcycles should do the trick.

One can also get to experience what is like to ride a Harley-Davidson through the Harley-Davidson jumpstart.

4. Watch rock come alive on 3 stages!

Kanan Gill & Kenneth Sebastian), The Supersonics, Devoid, Blakc, Ravi Iyer, Pangea, Tough on Tobacco, Undying Inc, Reverrse Polarity, and Until We Last.
