Spryk Live at Lollapalooza 2025
Spryk's 45 minute set at Lollapalooza India 2025 marked a major creative departure for the artist, synthesizing Indian musical traditions with electronic production in a way the catalogue hadn't attempted before. Marathi protest poetry sat alongside Hindi and Tulu rap, while South Indian ritual theatre traditions like Buta Kola were reworked through glitch-heavy electronic production.
Collaborators Bamboy, Gravity, Bharg and Ofro didn't just guest on the set, they were treated as characters within a constructed mythology built specifically for the performance.
Built for the Stage
Visuals for the set were designed by afterdark.xyz, who built a 3D immersive environment combined with custom LED work and facial expression amplification technology. Lighting design came from Framelabs.in, and the performance was documented by eyeamsid.
The set was preceded by a trilogy of singles that set up its themes: “Bhaag” featuring Bharg, and “Jiv Ekach Aahe” featuring Bamboy, both of which fed directly into the mythology built for the Lollapalooza stage.
