HEADLINER FOR DAY 1 OF YAA — NAALAYAK 🇮🇳 🔥
We asked you to turn your volume up.
Now you know why. 👀
YAA is bringing one of India’s most loved independent acts to the hills.
NAALAYAK — led by Sahil Samuel, the Chandigarh-born artist whose music has carved out a space of its own in India’s independent music scene. 🇮🇳
Raw. Honest. Emotional. Unapologetic.
Naalayak blends the grit and soul of rock with Hindi-Urdu lyricism, creating songs that speak about heartbreak, chaos, love, healing and everything in between. His voice carries vulnerability and intensity in equal measure — the kind of music that doesn't just play in your ears, but stays with you.
From the early days of “Main Ka Bukhar” and the Naalayak EP to songs like “Zakir,” “Bawra,” “Sawan,” “Haan Pyaar Hai,” “Sunday,” “Gulfam” and “Jazba,”
Naalayak has built a fiercely loyal audience around music that feels personal and real.
And then came “Marammat” — his fourth album — a deeply personal body of work centred around breaking down, healing, rebuilding and ultimately choosing joy.
For the live experience, Naalayak brings the songs to life with a full band setup, combining powerful vocals, electric guitars, bass and drums to move between intimate moments and explosive, cathartic rock passages.
From Chandigarh to YAA.
From your headphones to the YAA stage.
DAY 1. HEADLINER.
