Goa Gets Tough on Drinks, Drugs as New Tourist Season Starts
The Indian resort state of Goa is getting tough on drink, drugs and loud music as the new tourist season starts, to restore its tarnished reputation after the shock murder of a British teenager.

The festival, which is into its third year, has invited global clubbing brand and dance behemoth Gatecrasher for the label stage.

Shalindera Singh, organizer of the dance programme, said that India was fortunate to host the festival.

"Sunburn is a festival which allows you to be who you are and fortunately through the platform of music which I think is a universal language of celebration. We are really fortunate that Goa has India's own festival of music and dance called Sunburn which is not only India's largest but also Asia's number one," said Singh.

Indian electronica talents like Jalebee Cartel, Pearl, Ma Faiza and several others have partnered with Sunburn since its inception.
