Talking about the new property, Deepak Choudhary, Founder and Director, Event Capital said, “India today celebrates over 20 music festivals in the electronic and Indie music space, and Bollywood music acts are now a regular feature in these festivals. That got us thinking, and we questioned about why does Bollywood not have a festival of its own? When 67% of music streams across streaming platforms is Bollywood, and Ticketmaster data worldwide shows us that Bollywood concerts are top sellers from Wembley to Vancouver, we felt that it was a need gap that has to be filled. When TM Talent Management approached us with the idea, we saw merit through our scale lens and decided this is the next big thing in Music: Bollywood presented in a festival format in an alternative and experimental culture. Moreover, it makes great concept and business sense for us as a part of our core business of live event IPs.”

Tarsame Mittal, Founder, TM Talent Management added, “Music is the DNA of TM Talent Management. We breathe music and believe that Bollywood Music is the most popular genre in India. It has equal following around the globe as well. With BMP, we wish to present a unique live musical experience with Bollywood Music. We are fortunate to have a great support in this maiden venture from artists like Rekha Ji, Hariharan, SajidWajid and Sunny MR who is our core advisory and are working very closely on the project.”
