India and KSHMR are inseparable, not only because of the American DJ’s roots in the country, but also because every time he visits to perform here, it is more immersive than before. It couldn’t get better for Niles Hollowell-Dhar, popularly known by his stage name KSHMR, because he is performing in the country for Holi and is set to tour five cities for the Sunburn Holi Weekend, starting with Mumbai on March 3, and even making his debut in Bhubaneshwar. 

He shares, “I'm super excited to be back and to not only be back for one show, but to get to do a whole tour and be able to travel because I have friends and fans, who say, ‘Why don't you ever come to Bengaluru?'" Finally, I have some good news to tell them. It's nice to say that this time I'll be making the rounds and seeing some of my fans and my friends that I don't get to see so often. And of course, to do it around Holi is a special time. The spirits are going to be high.”
