Music and Youth
It’s Saturday Night, but nowhere to go? Get your own DJ with House Party Nights
With a global lockdown in effect and social distancing effectively becoming a way of life, partying seems like something that “we used to do”. That was the case, until Sony Music India decided to bridge that void with their new online initiative, House Party Nights.
Featuring a new celebrity DJ behind the console every Saturday night at 8, the hour-long gig is quite literally where you want to party — in your bedroom, in your living room, in the kitchen, quite literally anywhere.
The idea is to make sure you stay entertained and party responsibly while you #StayHomeStaySafe as you shimmy and shake like nobody’s watching at your own personal “club” — your home.
Partnering with Sony Music India are some of the biggest names in the business: DJ Angel, DJ Paroma, DJ Shilpi Sharma, DJ Suketu, and DJ Akhil Talreja,
So, Stay Home, Stay Safe And Party Hard!!

MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
