Vh1 Supersonic Fans Announce Festival
Something truly unique happened on Tuesday – India’s VH1 Supersonic festival decided to use it massive worldwide fan base to announce its mega line up. The festival itself takes place 27th to 30th December on the beach in Goa, India, but the people behind it really embraced the modern age by offering up a toll number for fans to call.
Upon doing so they found out a bunch of clues about who was playing and then had to tweet their guesses. Any correct ones were retweeted by the festival and it proved a fun exercise for all concerned as fans took pride in being the ones to announce the line-up to the world. The reaction from press and punters alike was sensational and the news has now spread like wild fire about who is playing.
Commenting on this new concept of leveraging YOU, i.e. the consumer, Mr. Jaideep Singh, Sr. Vice President and Business Head-Viacom18 Pvt. Ltd. said, “We are thrilled to give music fans the opportunity to experience and be a part of the excitement surrounding one of our biggest properties – Vh1 Supersonic.

Thus by engaging with them in an interactive and innovative manner, we give them a sense of belonging thereby building a community for dance music.”
