Ghee over beer? Rameshwaram Cafe adds a Bengaluru twist to Bandland 2024

At Bandland’s second edition in Bengaluru, it wasn’t just the music that struck a chord—it was the ghee-drenched dosas from Rameshwaram Cafe. Known for its crisp dosas and dollops of ghee, the cafe brought a uniquely Bengaluru vibe to the alternative, indie, metal, and rock music festival held on November 23 and 24 at NICE Grounds, Madavara. One X user captured this, writing, “Beer doesn’t flow at metal concerts in Bengaluru, ghee does.” The user went on to say that she ‘legit’ spotted two guys carrying bottles of ghee. Bandland’s line-up featured global heavyweights like Avenged Sevenfold, Extreme, and Bloodywood, as well as Indian sensations like Zero, Swarathma, Selvaganesh, Bhayanak Maut, and Raman Negi. With tickets priced at ₹3,499 onwards and crowds gathering from 2 PM, Bandland brought together the best of global music and local flavors Incidentally, after performing at the first edition of the two-day festival, American rock band from Philadelphia, The War on Drugs, had told PTI that they really enjoyed the spirit of the Indian audience.
