Thirteenth Edition of Great Indian Rock is here. Less controversial compared to the ‘Independence Rock XXIV, GIR XIII is showcasing some killer band line up from India and some not so killer International Bands. Although some fans still feel GIR XIII standards have dropped compared to last years Premiere headlining bands like Satyricon, Sahg and Freak Kicthen to relatively unknown (in India) Benea Reach, Intronaut and Solslate , my guess is that this one could be one hell of a show as the myspace page of all the three headlining bands sound awesome.

And just in case if you didn’t notice ,Bangalore leg of GIR XIII dates clash (25th Oct) with ‘The Great Indian October beer Fest‘ which also happens be at the same venue ‘Palace Grounds’. Chances are that next year Bangalore might get leftout from GIR just as how Mumbai was not considered for GIR this year (reason being the low turn out last year due date clash with Farhan Akthar’s Rock On Concert for Bihar).

Anyways.. here are the final dates (Picture source RSJ Forums)
