Sara Landry’s Sunburn 2025 Debut Marks A New Era For India’s Dance Music Culture

Sunburn Festival 2025 is set to deliver its most adventurous edition yet as the world’s No. 1 Hard Techno DJ, Sara Landry, gears up for her highly anticipated India debut. Known globally as the “Queen of Hard Techno,” Landry has built a reputation for her blistering sets, occult-influenced aesthetic and unapologetically independent artistic identity. Her headlining appearance marks the first time a hard-techno artist of her stature will take centre stage at Sunburn,signalling a significant broadening of the festival’s soundscape.

Landry’s arrival comes at a time when India’s electronic music culture is undergoing a noticeable shift. Hard techno, once a niche, underground movement, has captured the imagination of Gen Z listeners who crave high-BPM, high-intensity music experiences. With a massive international following and a community-first approach, Landry embodies a new era of global dance culture,one that embraces intensity, individuality and freedom of expression. Her set at Sunburn 2025 is expected to open the door to a fresh sonic chapter for Indian audiences, bridging the gap between the country’s EDM-heavy past and its techno-forward future.

For Sunburn, her inclusion is more than just a booking,it’s a cultural statement. Placing Landry alongside chart-topping names like David Guetta, Axwell and Above & Beyond, the festival signals a deliberate move toward diversifying its lineup with both mainstream icons and boundary-pushing innovators. With large-scale production, adrenaline-fueled programming and a massive audience expected to turn up, Sunburn Festival 2025 is shaping up to be the most defining electronic music event of the year.

Sunburn Festival 2025 returns to Mumbai from December 19–21 at Infinity Bay, Sewri, bringing together some of the biggest names in global dance music. Tickets are now available on BookMyShow.
