Revenant Esports has announced a landmark partnership with Sunburn Festival 2025, creating India’s first music‑gaming crossover experience called “Game The Beat.”
Scheduled to debut at Sunburn Festival 2025 from December 19–21 at Infiniti Bay, Sewri, Mumbai, the initiative blends esports with Asia’s premier EDM festival.
The collaboration promises to merge Revenant’s 50M+ digital reach with Sunburn’s electrifying on‑ground energy. As per the official press release, the idea is to create a new cultural ecosystem where “raves meet raids and beats meet battles”. In other words, you’ll see gaming tournaments and creator‑led content right alongside world‑class DJ performances.
Rohit N Jagasia, Founder & CEO of Revenant Esports, expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying, “Music and gaming remain the two biggest youth engagement platforms in India. Partnering with Sunburn Festival allows us to create an ecosystem that drives youth engagement like never before. Revenant has over 50 million cumulative digital reach, and Sunburn has been the heartbeat of India’s EDM scene for nearly two decades. Game The Beat is where the rhythm of sound meets the rush of gaming.”
Karan Singh, CEO of Sunburn, added, “The future of entertainment lies at the intersection of culture, community, and creativity. Partnering with Revenant is a natural step in that vision. This collaboration isn’t just about bringing two industries together — it’s about evolving audience experiences where fans don’t just consume culture but actively create it.”
So what can fans expect? The Game The Beat initiative will roll out in phases, generating an estimated 3–5 million digital reach. Revenant stars like Scout, Kaashvi, Sensei, and Vanshaj will feature in creator‑led content, including a mini‑series that tracks their journey from gaming bootcamps to the Sunburn stage. Ahead of the festival, there will be Sunburn‑branded gaming events, custom lobbies, and giveaways to keep the hype alive.
At the festival itself, a dedicated Gaming Arena will host live tournaments, meet‑and‑greets, and interactive experiences. Fans can also look forward to exclusive co‑branded merchandise and digital drops across both communities.
Sunburn, which has hosted global icons like Martin Garrix, Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, and The Chainsmokers, is already ranked among the world’s top festivals. Revenant, meanwhile, has become one of South Asia’s fastest‑growing esports organizations since its founding in 2021. Together, they’re shaping a crossover that could set the tone for future collaborations in India’s entertainment industry.
