About BLOODYWOOD Dhol. Metal. Rebellion. For the first time ever, Bloodywood performs in Central India — and they chose Bhopal. The world already knows them. India's first metal act on Billboard. 80,000 screaming fans at Wacken Open Air, Germany. Signed by Fearless Records, USA. Collaborated with Japan's Babymetal. Metal Hammer's "band to watch." But credentials don't tell the full story. Bloodywood is loud — but not empty loud. Their music fights back. Against depression. Against bullying. Against silence when silence is the problem. Songs like "Jee Veerey" aren't just bangers — they're battle cries for mental health. The dhol meets distortion. Punjabi grit meets metal fury. It's heavy. It's meaningful. It's unlike anything you've heard live. And on 18 January, Bhopal experiences it firsthand. Tayyar ho? Who Should Attend? Let's be clear: Indiestaan isn't exclusive. Headbangers? Welcome. First-timers? Welcome. Parents who haven't been to a concert since college? Welcome. Families looking for a night out that's actually memorable? Welcome. We've seen three generations at the same show. Grandparents tapping their feet while grandkids lose their minds in the front row. Couples discovering new music together. Friends making memories that don't need a filter. Loud doesn't mean unwelcoming. It means alive. Everyone has a place here. Everyone's awaaz matters. 10 YEARS. ONE MISSION. A decade ago, GIFLIF started with a belief: India's independent artists deserve to be heard. Not sidelined. Not background noise. Heard. Over 10 years, we've watched bedroom artists become festival headliners. Genres that didn't have names now have movements. The "indie scene" isn't a scene anymore — it's the sound of a generation finding its voice. We didn't build this. The artists did. The fans did. We just turned up the volume. GIFLIF Indiestaan Musical Experience celebrates this journey. And this year, we celebrate LOUD.
