Fandom at Gilly’s Redefined, Koramangala
Tickets: ₹1,499 via Insider.in, plus ₹500 cover charge at the door
Two international acts take the stage at Fandom this weekend, including the mystique-heavy, masked trio from Australia — psychedelic band Glass Beams and Czech Republic’s high-energy duo Noisy Pots. Glass Beams, known for their Indian disco and Bollywood-tinged groovy jams, are back to performing in India just over a month after making their debut at Magnetic Fields Festival in Rajasthan. Presently one of the world’s most acclaimed acts, they’re packing their energy into a club setting.
Noisy Pots, for their part, are bringing a different kind of energy since they primarily started out making electronic music and using kitchen utensils as a sounding board. Comprising artistes Michal Supak and Jakub Tengler who come from a classical music and jazz background, the duo are also on an India tour with a stop in Bengaluru. The show is organised as part of the larger, recently launched initiative Around India, which aims to bring Indian and international bands across the country.
February 3 and 4, 3 pm onwards
