“The Sunburn Festival is not just about music,” stated Harindra Singh, CEO of Percept Limited. “It is our opportunity to reach prime youth of Sri Lanka by bringing to them what they love best. For Sunburn, Sri Lanka was the obvious choice when venturing into overseas performances, as we see it as the next growth opportunity in terms of building an active fan base. We are indeed proud to be associated with Citrus – one of Sri Lanka’s premier groups in this venture, and we are confident that the event in Colombo will be an astounding success.”
 
 
Since its first rave, Sunburn has been winning many national and international accolades including being nominated amongst the top 10 musical festivals in the world as well as Asia’s biggest music festival, along with being voted as the best live Entertainment Event of the Year 2008 & 2010 and the best festival of the year 2011 at the WOW Awards.
