What is a Holi?

Holi is the Hindu spring festival of colours, celebrated by throwing coloured powder, music and dancing. In the UK it is popular with communities, universities and companies, usually outdoors.

We supply DJs and mobile DJ trucks, dhol players, Bollywood and bhangra dancers to lead the dancing, and staging and sound for bigger events.

    A DJ or DJ truck as the centre of the party

  • Step 2

    Dhol players for the colour throws

  • Step 4

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Protect the kit

    Colour powder gets everywhere. We plan covers for equipment and agree the colour area with your venue.

  2. 2

    Time the colour throws

    Counting down to a colour throw on the dhol makes the best photos and video.

  3. 3

    Give guests white clothes

    White T-shirts make the colours pop and give everyone a souvenir.
