HELLOWEEN announced as headliners for Hornbill Festival, Kohima

Announced on 25th August 2015, German power metal pioneers HELLOWEEN confirmed a headlining slot at the prestigious Hornbill Festival  in Kohima, Nagaland. The band is slated to play on the 7th of December 2015. They are currently touring extensively around the world in support of their 16th studio album My God-Given Right, released in May this year via Nuclear Blast Records. While this announcement hasn’t been made on either the band or the event’s website, a Facebook post via the band’s official page was how the announcement was made and one can only expect this news to be made official on those respective websites soon. If you ‘want out’, then Hornbill is where you need to be!

XANDRIA to headline BITS-Pilani Hyderabad’s Pearl

German symphonic metal band Xandria will be headlining the annual cultural festival Pearl at BITS-Pilani‘s Hyderabad campus on 14th March, having previously been headlined by acts such as Dark Tranquillity and Decapitated. The band will be managed by Orka Networks during this time, the events company that brought Gojira and Bloodshot Dawn to India, among other bands. Xandria released their 6th full-length album Sacrificium last year, to extremely positive reviews. As a stroke of absolute coincidence, their 3rd full length from 2005 was titled India. Whether that was due to having visited the country before or as a vicarious step we are not sure, but we at Headbangers India are glad that they can finally visit the namesake of that release.
