The Yaa Festival

THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER.

The dates for the 3rd Edition of The YAA Festival are finally here. 🥁🌿

What started as a small dream among friends — a community-led festival, proudly supported by our Chief Patron Shri. Aditya Golay, (MLA 07–Soreng Chakung) is slowly growing into a gathering of music, people, culture, and memories that belong to all of us.

This year, we’re coming back bigger, louder, and closer to home — with a three-day festival, two days of music, new stories to tell, new artists to discover, and the same old spirit that started it all.

📅 5–7 December 2026
📍 Tharpu, Soreng, Sikkim

The stage is waiting.
The mountains are calling.
And YAA is calling you back.

Bands to be announced soon. 👀🔥

Save the dates. Tell your tribe.
Bring your people. Make some memories.
We’ll see you at YAA 2026.♥️🤘

The Yaa Festival 2.0- A Cinematic Recap.

Revisit the unforgettable moments from the second edition of The Yaa Festival Tharpu, Soreng District, Sikkim.

The rain fell, plans shifted, odds were against us- but the festival lived on. We took the risk, gave everything we had, and pushed through the unexpected downpours. It wasn't perfect- but it was real, raw and honest, and done with heart.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and stood with us.
May real rock music live on forever. Let’s all play our part in keeping the spirit alive in Sikkim and across Northeast India.
Long live rock and roll. Long live music. 🎸🔥
