Logo of Rock Ethos 09

Rock Ethos was a free-entry invite-only rock music festival launched in 2008, and was discontinued after 2009, where the festival expanded to an two-day format.[1][2][3] It aimed to promote original music in India and discourage piracy.[2][3] Indian rock bands were allocated 45 minutes to perform their original compositions at the festival. In an attempt to recreate an international rock festival experience, Rock Ethos offered a carnival atmosphere with bungee jumping, paintball contests, and food and refreshment zones.[3][4]
