There's a certain kind of joy that only a music festival brings, the kind that starts weeks before the actual day. As someone who has always dreamed of attending global festivals like Sunburn, Tomorrowland
and Lollapalooza, this year felt special. Sunburn Festival finally moved from its iconic Goa setting to Mumbai, and I couldn't have asked for a better excuse to experience it for the first time. I was hosted on the Day 1 of Sunburn Festival 2025 at Infinity Bay, Sewri, on December 19 – excited, curious and ready for my first-ever Sunburn.
Getting there was easier than expected
I travelled by train from Chunabhatti and reached Infinity Bay in about 30–40 minutes. From Sewri station, the venue was a straightforward 15-minute walk. Since this was also my first time at venue, I half-expected confusion but that never happened. Giant yellow boards lined the route, and volunteers dressed in matching yellow guided people every few steps. I left home around 3:30 pm and reached the venue by 4:10 pm.
After collecting my wristband from the box office, I walked in through a striking silver mirrored entrance that simply read " sunburn. security checks and wristband scanning were quick and smooth. inside, the venue felt spacious and organised, though still quiet. the four stages, main stage, rupay stage, tuborg stage and hyundai stage, were all within a two to three-minute walk of each other. with the sun still out, it was a bit humid, and sunscreen definitely came in handy.< p fetchpriority="low" loading="lazy">
