Okay, so let's talk about the music because wow, they really said "let's make this unforgettable!"

Day 1 kicks things off with Last Cigarette Theory, and honestly? Pure adrenaline. Expect cool, classic Bollywood tracks from the 2000s, some soulful Punjabi hits, and a sprinkle of English pop. Overall, it’s an energy rush you won’t forget.

Day 2 switches gears completely with Dark Musicians. Romantic songs, Bollywood rock, some clever mashups, all wrapped in totally captivating vibes. It’s giving main-character-walking-through-the-fog energy, and yes, we’re here for it.

Then Day 3 gets all up in your feelings with Adarsh Rao. If you're not already obsessed with his soulful indie tracks, you will be. With Instagram-favourite tracks like Mann Bawra, Parichayame, and Kho Jaun, Rao will bring a soulful serenade you won’t want to miss.

And the grand finale? Oh, just MC Headshot from MTV Hustle dropping bars and absolutely killing the stage on October 12th. Fiery beats, insane energy, mic-drop moments, the whole deal.

Let's be real, you can't vibe to sick beats on an empty stomach. Lucky for you, the food scene here is basically a world tour for your taste buds.

Feeling those mountain vibes? Nainital Momos will be serving up steamy, delicious dumplings that'll warm your soul. Need to cool down between all that dancing? My Froyoland is your froyo fix.

Then there's Power Plate keeping it fresh and healthy (because balance, right?), Technically Now bringing legit Australian flavours, and Zorko, you know, that Shark Tank fave, hitting you with those fast-food cravings we all secretly have. Basically, every craving is covered!

Between music sets, it's time to do some serious damage to your wallet – but like, the fun kind.

Peep Pearl Petals for dainty jewellery that'll have everyone asking, "where'd you get that?" Swipe on some quirky lip glosses from Keewie because why not? And if you're hunting for the funkiest indie tees that scream personality, Noice & Toit are calling your name.

Artsy folks, Art by Neesh has those handcrafted treasures you didn't know you needed but definitely do. And since it's Diwali season, Straight Out of Heaven is bringing beautiful candles to make your place look (and smell) absolutely divine.

And then there's more! Go for a serene boating experience and pretend you're in a Bollywood montage. For kids there's gonna be a dedicated play zone where they can run wild while you snag five minutes of peace (you deserve it).

But here's where it gets really cool, creative workshops that'll have you feeling like an artist. Learn Texture Art and get all tactile and artsy. Try your hand at Kintsugi (that's the Japanese art of turning broken stuff into gold, super therapeutic and Instagram-worthy). Or make Coconut Shell Candles because eco-friendly crafts are having a moment, and honestly? They're just fun.

This Diwali, don't settle for the same old, same old. SAS Knocksense La Flea Affair – Diwali Edition is serving up live music that intrigues, food that hits different, shopping that's actually unique, and hands-on fun that'll have you flexing your creative side.
