September, 2018. With over 60 events across 11 clusters, the fest saw massive participation
from all over South India. Prominent musicians came to perform in the Pro Shows that were

huge participation from a host of colleges.
The star studded lineup of Pro-Show artists ensured that every night ended on the right note.
International sensation, Sabrina Terence got the crowd raving to her beats till dawn. The
techno-based artist had a really impressive set, which will be cherished for years to come.
Switcheroo and Skrat were the highlights of the ‘Rock Nite’. While they were unique in their
own ways, the common denominator was that the crowd was left wanting for more. For the
final day, the famous playback singer, Sunidhi Chauhan, performed some of her evergreen
songs. The crowd joined in too, paving the way for an exhilarating experience inside the
