MTV Iggy has chosen Independence Rock as No. 9 on the list of Top 10 Music Festivals Around the World to check out in 2010, featuring alongside music festivals like Coachella and the Roskilde Festival.

"Called I-Rock within India and held annually at the Chitrakoot Grounds in Mumbai, this is heaven for die-hard guitar freaks. You're not likely to see major international acts, but you will see the kind of guitar-god technical proficiency that turns most rock and metal-head obsessives into wild-eyed lunatics. Most Indians love Bollywood music, but those who don't hate it with a passion that's channeled into rock/metal/indie/experimental music with wild abandon. With over a billion people, India’s a huge audience waiting to be tapped into by the international music festival circuit and the bands there are ready to break out. In the meantime, you can check out our primer, India Rocks Out, and plan a trip to this "Woodstock of India" to see what the fuss is about for yourself."
