After a hugely successful north tour and a return to Mumbai for its annual birthday bash, Off The Roof, the Red Bull Tour Bus will now set off on its final tour of the year, through the western region of the country. Kicking off in Goa on November 5, the bus will then move on to Ahmedabad on November 18 and wind up the tour in Pune on November 22. Goa will see the likes of alternative and experimental rock bands The F16s and aswekeepsearching return to play atop the bus.
A Chennai-based alternative/electro rock band formed in 2011, The F16s have comprehensively established themselves as one of the fastest growing bands currently in the Indian independent music space, both in terms of their sound, as well as their fan base. They have released two acclaimed EPs, played at the biggest music festivals across the country and won competitions that have taken them to record at some of the finest recording studios in the world. In August this year The F16s released their debut full-length album, Triggerpunkte, a nine-track record that’s heavy on nostalgia and has been incredibly well-received.
After their smashing debut on the bus at Off The Roof in Mumbai, aswekeepsearching will hop on the bus once again in Goa. Formed in September 2013, the band has been turning heads with their experimental, post-rock sound since their very first gig. The bands released their debut full-length album, Khwaab, in October 2015, and have been touring in support of it since, including a five-stop tour of Russia soon after its release.
