    Red FM’s South Side Story returns with an Onam special and a riot of rhythm, rasam and rock

    MUMBAI: Red Fm is bringing the beats and flavours of Southern India to the capital with the seventh edition of its flagship cultural carnival, South Side Story. Scheduled for 30 and 31 August at the KD Jadhav Wrestling Stadium in Delhi, this Onam Special promises a weekend soaked in music, masala and meaningful art.

    This year’s lineup reads like a playlist that slaps – expect explosive performances from Avial, The Raghu Dixit Project, Thaikkudam Bridge, Sooraj Santhosh Live, Job Kurian, Wild Wild Women, Shobana, TM Krishna, Aattam Kalasamithi and more. Genres will collide, and traditions will remix with rebellion – from folk-rock and indie pop to rap and classical.

    But Red Fm isn’t stopping at just sound. In the run-up to the event, Delhiites will get a taste of the South’s literary soul through tie-ups with DC Books and Kerala Literature Festival. Think book readings, cultural conversations, and indie film screenings. And yes, there’s sadhya — a 20-dish Onam feast that’s as photogenic as it is flavour-packed.

    Art installations, cultural showcases and pre-event pop-ups are set to take over the city — all reinforcing Red Fm’s identity as more than just a radio network. It’s now a cultural catalyst, bridging South India’s deep-rooted tradition with a modern, metropolitan pulse.

    Tickets start at Rs 499 on Skillbox.
