Jazz fusion collective and five-time Grammy Award-winning band Snarky Puppy is all set to make its way to India this December. The genre-defying "collective of sorts" is all set to deliver truly mesmerising performances at Mumbai's Bayview Lawns on December 2 and at the DLF CyberHub in Gurugram on December 3. This dual-city India Tour is being brought to their fans and music connoisseurs by Hyperlink Brand Solutions and leading entertainment platform Paytm Insider.

Snarky Puppy has garnered worldwide acclaim for their innovative compositions. Formed in 2004 by Michael League, the group originally consisted of him and nine of his peers. Today, it has as many as 20 members in regular rotation. The group combines a variety of jazz idioms, rock, world music and funk with various accents from around the world, including Japan, Argentina, Canada and the UK. The group is returning for an encore to the country after almost a decade with its two-city India Tour.

Furthermore, their India Tour will kick off with an opening act by High Fade, an Edinburgh-based trio known for a rich cocktail of funk, rock, pop and disco, infused with '70s and '80s influences. Their infectious style and energy will set the stage alight, giving audiences an experience unlike anything before.

This tour is being curated and brought forth to the two cities by Paytm Insider alongside Hyperlink Brand Solutions.
