History

It was organised for the first time in Hyderabad in February 2012.[2] It is organised by Mohan Hemmadi and Abhijit Bhattacharjee. It was decided to make it an annual event in Hyderabad like the Pune edition, and possibly an all-night event.

Controversy

The festival started on a wrong note with police denying permission and the show on the first day had to be curtailed. And the police gave a limited permission till 10 p.m. in the night, making it difficult for artists to be accommodated well in stipulated time.[3]
