Still in its nascent stage, Bloomverse is a new boutique independent music festival. Yet what truly sets the music festival apart is its unique setting amidst the natural wonders of Meghalaya. From intimate acoustic sets in secluded glades to raucous dance parties beneath the stars, the festival offers a myriad of experiences. The artist line-up is going to be headlined by the American synthwave band, The Midnight. The Midnight’s most recent album, an EP named Nocturnal has been warmly received. It reached the top 20 of Billboard’s Dance/Electronic charts and remained at No. 1 on Bandcamp for a few weeks.
Next is Polar Lights, which is an alternative/ambient rock band from Dimapur, Nagaland, and is widely regarded as one of the best to emerge from Northeast India. Their recent album received over half a million listens in just seven months. Next up is Nokpante, a multi-genre band from Tura, Meghalaya. Their music ranges from folk to acoustic pop and everything in between, demonstrating their diversity. Artist Meba Ofilia began making waves in the Shillong indie circuit in 2016, with a background in hip hop and R&B. Since then, her music has been in talks among musicians.

But, it’s not just good music. The music festival is all set to have stalls and craft corners hosted by The Mini Bazaar, a pop-up event curated to specifically promote home-grown artisans, curated by Rudy Marak. The pop-up event curator has earlier hosted similar programs. The pop-ups are well-loved by people and are hosted to promote and inspire budding homegrown entrepreneurs. Their pop-ups are happy flea markets that seek to raise brand recognition, promote and support local entrepreneurs and artists, and establish a network.
