Tidewaterthree nights by the seaSessions
Three stages on a crescent of sand between a laterite headland and a coconut grove. The music starts when the sun touches the water and carries on until the tide turns, with brass on the beach, electronics under the lighthouse and slow, beautiful things among the palms.
The lineup
Twelve acts a night across three stages, arranged so that you can drift from the beach to the grove without missing the moment you came for. Headliners play the Sun Deck at half past ten.
Every artist named on this page is invented for this concept study. Set times are shown in IST.

Add-ons
Getting there
Tamsi Beach sits on the southern Konkan coast, an easy run from Goa and a scenic one from Mumbai. We run shuttles so that you can leave the car at home.
By air
Fly into Mopa or Dabolim in Goa. Our festival shuttle meets arrivals every ninety minutes on Friday and takes about two hours to reach the gate.
By rail
The Konkan Railway runs along the coast. Alight at Kudal, where a shuttle waits outside the station for every afternoon train on festival days.
By road
The coast road is narrow and slow after dark. Parking sits in a field two kilometres inland, with a free electric shuttle loop to the gate until two in the morning.
Staying over
Tide Camp opens at noon on Friday with ready-pitched tents, showers and lockers. Homestays in the nearby villages book early, so plan ahead.
Lights low on the waterline
February is nesting season for olive ridley turtles on this coast. The shoreline beyond the Sun Deck stays dark and roped off every night, all stage lighting is angled inland, and the Lighthouse stage stops at half past one so that the beach is quiet before dawn.
Good to know
What time do gates open?
Gates open at three in the afternoon each day. The Palm Grove begins at four, the Sun Deck at half past four, and the Lighthouse at six.
Is there an age limit?
The festival is open to anyone aged sixteen and over. Guests under eighteen must be accompanied by an adult with a valid pass, and the bars check identification.
Can I bring my own water bottle?
Please do. Refill points are free and marked on the site map, and single-use plastic bottles are not sold anywhere on site.
What happens if it rains?
February on the Konkan coast is reliably dry. Every stage has a roof and the grove has covered seating, so a passing shower will not stop the music.
How do payments work on site?
Your wristband carries a cashless wallet that you can top up by UPI or card. Unused balance is refunded to you within a week of the festival.
Can I upgrade my pass later?
Yes. You can upgrade from a day pass to a three-day pass, or from any pass to Crest, at the box office by paying the difference.
