Celebrating the spirit of ‘Living it Large’, Seagram’s Royal Stag presents the second edition of Royal Stag BoomBox, a one-of-its-kind musical festival where the best-loved melodies of Bollywood meet the pulsating beats of hip-hop. The youth festival held its second on-ground experience of the year in Jaipur, Rajasthan, on March 16th, 2024. The city came alive as Royal Stag BoomBox audaciously brought together polar opposites of the music industry to create an original soundscape.
With an enthusiastic audience of close to 10,000 people, Jaipur came alive with the youthful energy of Royal Stag BoomBox. The venue, Jaipur Exhibition & Convention Centre, was alight with dazzling colors and sounds, bringing various aspects of culture, merchandise, food, and numerous interactive experiences for the attendees to enjoy under one roof. The ambience of the occasion was distinctly youthful, resonating with the city's vibrant spirit.
Alongside the headline acts, a plethora of other performances captivated the audience leading up to the evening, including showcases by local bands, dancers, rappers and beatboxers. As the evening approached, Ali Merchant took the stage, officially opening the evening with his mashups. Then, rapper Dino James ignited the crowd with the pulsating rhythms of hip-hop. As the night unfolded, singer Neeti Mohan graced the stage, weaving magic with her captivating melodies. The festival culminated in a spellbinding performance by Badshah, which took the evening to another level.
Excited about the association, rapper Badshah shared, “My experience performing in Jaipur for Royal Stag BoomBox was truly memorable. I am eagerly looking forward to meeting my fans in Bhubaneswar next with the property!”
Singer Neeti Mohan shared, “I am excited to be collaborating with Royal Stag BoomBox for another edition!

Rapper Dino James shared, “I think Royal Stag BoomBox is a unique musical platform that really connects with the youth of India. Jaipur was the second city that we visited with Royal Stag BoomBox this year and I had an amazing experience performing here.”
Artist Ali Merchant said, "Royal Stag BoomBox is back with a bang with new Hip-Hop X Bollywood collabs! Each of the cities I've performed in has shown up with great energy. The audience in Jaipur was equally amazing.”
Kartik Mohindra, CMO, Pernod Ricard India said, “Music and live experiences bring people together and are natural enablers of conviviality.

This is a tribe that tends to make rather than follow trends; a tribe that is in constant search of soul-touching experiences. Royal Stag BoomBox intends to stir the imagination of this generation, blending music they have inherited, Bollywood scores, with the genre that speaks to them, Hip Hop.
