World class music comes to Bengaluru this February
February 3, 9 pm onwards
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
Jayamahal Palace Hotel
The Election Commission of India will hold a press conference on June 3, a day before the counting of votes polled in the Lok Sabha polls. Till the 2019 parliamentary polls, deputy election commissioners used to hold media briefings after each phase of polls, but the practice has been done away with.
