MUMBAI: Asia’s No. 1 Dance Music Festival ‘Sunburn’ is all set to unveil its plans for the highly anticipated ‘Sunburn Goa Festival’ scheduled to be held at Vagator, Goa from 27-29 December 2014. The Early Bird Tickets for Sunburn Goa will go live exclusively on the Sunburn website www.sunburn.in on Wednesday, July 2, 2014 from 12.00 pm onwards.
The Early Bird Tickets last year were snapped up by Sunburn fans in a matter of 4 minutes setting a record of firsts in Indian history. Online sales tracked showed that 20% of the Early Bird Ticket sales came from international territories including UK, Australia, Russia, Singapore, South Africa and Dubai. Sunburn Goa 2013 was listed as the biggest and grandest extravaganza ever held on the shores of India with an aggregate attendance of over 160,000 visitors from 40 countries globally and 70 cities pan-India.
Building up to the Sunburn Season 8 frenzy, Percept Live unveiled the ‘Sunburn Goa 2013 Aftermovie’ on June 19, 2014 which captured some of the most exciting moments of last year’s Festival, including the stage show extravaganza and peripheral activities held at Vagator Beach, rare footage of the fan frenzy, backstage activities, and both artist and visitor testimonials.

Visitors can expect to witness a festival unlike any other as Sunburn Goa 2014 gets prepared to present an experience that will see the biggest artists, massive stages and experiential zones, a spectacular production and a whole host of fun activities spanning the entire length and breadth of the massive Vagator venue. A phenomenal line-up of global artists has been exclusively lined up for the 2014 festival, and the names will be unveiled soon by Percept Live. Visitors can look forward to a diverse range of adventurous activities during their 3 day stay at Goa spanning exotic Sunburn Cruises, Flea Markets, Activity zones, Open Air Theatres, Libraries, Artist Villages, On-Site Camping and the famed Sunburn Afterparties spanning over 50,000 sq. mts. of Vagator, making this an extravaganza of mammoth proportions.
With a booming economy and the biggest youth population in the world, India has become one of the most sought-after destinations to visit, with the Sunburn Festival becoming a prime factor for driving tourists from around the world to the state of Goa in the month of December. Renowned for its deep-rooted trance music heritage, Goa offers an idyllic location for those looking forward to experience an unforgettable mixture of bass, beats and bliss through the three-day cult Sunburn Festival. 2013 saw Sunburn’s biggest crowd to date, with fans coming together from all corners of the globe including Asia, USA and Europe, and 2014 looks set to be even bigger.
Percept Live has plans to increase the global fan footprint further in 2014 with a range of innovative and unique marketing promotions and strategic alliances with international partners and associates, thereby creating a heightened spike towards global tourism for Goa.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
