Bombay Rock Association is an organization that strives to prove wrong the notion that rock is dead. Formed 10 years ago, the association organizes rock gigs, jam sessions and listening sessions to promote rock music and give the musicians a platform to showcase their talent.

Bombay Rock has always believed in the power of the youth, and youth based issues like Freedom, Peace, Love and Truth which is why we also proudly call ourselves the Youth Organisation.

The festival will have the choicest of Indian Rock bands playing 41 gigs in all – 30 pub shows, 10 auditorium gigs (divided into electric and unplugged shows) to be concluded with an outdoor grand finale gig which will he held in Mumbai in February 2008.
