Produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment experiential division of BookMyShow, Bandland kicked off with an electrifying start. The festival offered vibrant art installations inspired by the city, a delectable fusion of cuisines and unique mixology, all under Bengaluru's open skies.

The inaugural day kicked off with a burst of energy, featuring outstanding performances from Indian gems. The War on Drugs, one of the most loved rock bands of all times won hearts with the assorted mix of their recent and all-time hits like ‘Pain’, ‘Red Eyes’, ‘Lost in the Dream’ and songs from their latest album, ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore.’  The night reached its crescendo with the headlining act, Goo Goo Dolls, who brought the house down with their cult-favourite anthems like ‘Slide’, ‘Broadway’, ‘Here is Gone’, ‘Black Balloon’, ‘Yeah I Like You’, ending with an absolute banger with high-octane energy amongst the head-banging audiences singing along to ‘Iris’.

Homegrown bands like The Earth Below set the tone with their unique fusion of genres. Following suit, the ethereal soundscapes of Parvaaz captivated the audience, transporting them into a realm of sonic transcendence. SKRAT is known for its high-octane performances along with Thermal And A Quarter. From bluesy riffs to soaring vocals, the first day of Bandland was a genre-bending journey that left every music lover wanting more at the Embassy Riding School Grounds, Bengaluru.
