A killer lineup of India’s hip-hop royalty-King, Raga, Karma, Trick Singh, and Pho-set the stage on fire with electrifying performances. King’s triumphant return to Simba Uproar after performing in its first edition was met with roaring cheers, while Raga’s razor-sharp verses, Trick Singh’s electrifying presence, and Pho’s raw energy kept the crowd hooked. Each performance pushed the boundaries of India’s hip-hop scene, turning the night into an unforgettable spectacle.
Simba Uproar was not just about the music-it was an all-out sensory adventure, celebrating art, high-octane action, and boundary-pushing experiences. The live art spaces pulsed with creativity, while the adventure zones and interactive showcases kept the crowd on their toes. Furthermore, the adrenaline-packed skateboarding arena and a striking bespoke art installation became crowd favourites, setting the festival ablaze with excitement. Taking the thrill up a notch, a massive ramp in front of the main stage hosted gravity-defying FMX stunts, leaving audiences stunned. Meanwhile, a monster truck-turned-DJ-console pumped out beats at the second stage as Dhiraaj, founder of Crab Culture, kept the energy soaring.
The festival was also a haven for food lovers and brand enthusiasts. Festival-goers indulged in a curated feast of flavors, while brands like New Republic, Shady Gators, and Boring Socks redefined retail with innovative activations and exclusive drops. Among the highlights was the limited-edition Boring Socks x Simba collaboration, drawing in festival-goers eager to grab a piece of this exclusive drop.
For those desiring more than just music and fashion, the Power Pit delivered high-octane gaming experiences, featuring a claw machine and other interactive challenges that kept competitive spirits alive. Meanwhile, the Beat Street Bar carved out a laid-back escape, with a DJ curating relaxing beats to set the perfect mood for revellers looking to unwind without missing a moment of the action.
Simba Uproar isn’t just an event-it’s a movement redefining the future of culture. This year’s edition not only glorified the underground but also backed the festival’s mission of nurturing grassroots talent and intensifying the voices that drive India’s hip-hop and street culture forward.
