MUMBAI: In the streets of Delhi, where the roar of engines often competes with the hum of daily life, a unique festival is revving up to take centre stage.
Imagine the thrill of bikes and music merging into one electrifying experience—this is what the Riders Music Festival is all about. Returning on 8-9 February 2025, the event promises to transform the city into a haven for bikers, music lovers, and food enthusiasts, creating a vibrant celebration of passion and camaraderie.
The third edition of the Riders Music Festival, announced by 93.5 Red FM, will feature live performances, curated streetwear, food, and a showcase of custom, vintage, and adventure vehicles.
Red FM COO & director Nisha Narayanan said, “This year, we’re celebrating the camaraderie and solidarity among bikers—values that no institution can instil. At the heart of this festival is the powerful connection between music and riding, two forces that truly bind us together. This time we’re also committed to brand and gender neutrality, welcoming bikers of all kinds, non-bikers, and people from all walks of life. We also aim to promote sustainability, with a focus on electric vehicles, to build a united, eco-conscious community."
Red FM also organised a prelude for the Riders Music Festival, with Indian paralympic champion Deepa Malik as the chief guest.
Speaking at the event, she expressed: “Biking has been my anchor through every phase of life, from teenage hobbies to reclaiming my identity after chest below paralysis at 29. Doctors told me I’d never walk again, so I made it my mission from my ‘will chair’ to ride again. Wheels, to me, symbolise freedom, not limits. Riding a modified bike helped me reclaim my mobility, enter the world of sports, and prove that passion can overcome any barrier. This is why at Riders Music Festival I feel like I have a personal connection. My book also captures this journey of embracing challenges with a #bringiton spirit and proving abilities beyond disabilities.”
The Riders Music Festival 2025 boasts a line-up of seven artist performances, headlined by Indian music director and singer Amit Trivedi along with acts by Seedhe Maut, Paradox, Gurbax, Parvaaz, Prabh Deep and Raman Negi.
Attendees can also look forward to a stunt and gaming zone, along with over 50 exhibits showcasing custom, vintage and adventure bikes and cars. For fashion trendsetters, a dedicated streetwear zone will feature fashion and a carefully curated selection of food and beverage brands.
