About the Festival
Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival (KRBF) is Genesis Foundation’s flagship annual music festival. Spread over the scenic mountains of Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, the festival is organized at Baikunth Resort. Since its inception, the Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival has grown into a much-anticipated event, known for its vibrant atmosphere, exceptional performances, and the positive impact it generates. A mecca for music enthusiasts interested in listening to a diverse pool of established and upcoming talent. Believing strongly that music is a positive and participatory force for change, the Foundation established the music festival featuring leading names in Indian Pop, Rock, Jazz & Bollywood music.
This music festival was conceived by GF in 2012 with a view to grow its community of donors and well-wishers and spread the goodness of music. All funds raised at the festival are used towards the treatment of critically ill, under-privileged children with Congenital Heart Defects. The artists who perform, pledge with us to Save Little Hearts and bring together music lovers, corporates, and high net worth individuals who celebrate life and melody!
We are thrilled to announce the return of Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival in 2025, after a 5-year hiatus. Scheduled for Easter weekend, April 18-19th, 2025, this year’s festival promises to be our most exciting yet, with bands and activities designed to entertain and inspire.

How many concerts have you been to where the average age is more than 50 and have this kind of energy? And that is what has always brought me back here every time. It is a pity that we had to have a gap of six years in between. But now that we are back, we are going to be back forever.
- Harit Nagpal, MD & CEO - Tata Play Ltd
Congenital heart disease is not something that is spoken about much and when you say music heals, absolutely music does heal. And I think, whatever little way we can contribute towards raising awareness and bringing people together, we think we are just happy to be a part of it.

It rained and there was a storm. But everybody worked towards making sure that we played. And the show was a success. This is the biggest example of passion, drive and belief. Doing something that you have set your eyes at.
- Dr. Palash Sen, Euphoria
Until you actually come here, and experience it, that is when you truly get to see how magical it is. It is not just a festival, it is done with the right intention.
- Rasika Shekar
The best part about KRBF is in addition to being a festival for a good cause, it also promotes music in a way that is very unique. You will find new bands as well as very popular bands playing on the same stage.
- Aseem Sood, CEO - Impact Research & Management
We feel great performing for such a great cause. We feel great performing for such a lovely audience. It is such a wholesome feeling to come up here in the hills and do something so meaningful.
