Suntamed Music Festival Returns for its third year, Taking the Desi Beat Global from the Heart of Southeast Asia

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 July 2025 - Born from a gap in Singapore’s nightlife and the vision of a 19-year-old entrepreneur, Suntamed Music Festival has grown into Southeast Asia’s first and only Bollywood-centric music festival.

Now in its third year, it returns on 23 August 2025 at Sentosa Island with its most inclusive edition yet: a high-energy, culture-driven experience featuring over 30 artists, the launch of a second stage featuring Bolly-House, Afrodesi, and BollyTech sounds.

Founder Samrudhi Ekhande imagined the festival not as a party, but a celebration of identity and community where the South Asian diaspora and wider audiences could find connection through music. What started with a team of two has become a youth-led movement aiming to take Desi culture global, beginning in Singapore.

“This isn’t just about sound,” says Samrudhi. “It’s about providing a Premium Desi Musical experience, which also helps break away from some of the negative stereotypes that are associated with Indian nightlife.

This year’s edition is powered by a strategic collaboration with De Ideaz, one of Singapore’s most established event management agencies. With over 20+ years of experience curating large-scale cultural and corporate events across the region. Along with their partnership with Aayam Singapore, one of Singapore's upcoming educational firms, known for "transforming potential into performance".

Year 3 of the festival expects 3,000 patrons and features headliners like Aastha Gill, Karan Kanchan, every Desi girl's crush, the chocolate boy of India– Zaeden. With eyes on the APAC region and beyond, Suntamed is more than a music festival; it's a movement grounded in culture, built by community, and led by a generation ready to redefine global stages.
