Launched in 2007, Sunburn was originally held in Vagator, Goa. Later, it shifted to Pune from 2016 to 2018 before returning to Goa. And now, fans will witness the new edition in Mumbai. In recent years, the festival, long associated with Goa, has faced growing public backlash and increasing bureaucratic challenges. Now, it's to be seen whether relocation of the festival works in favour of organisers or not. More details regarding the headliners are yet to be disclosed.
