• Weak keep, several dozen hits on ProQuest, but I'm having difficulty finding coverage that is secondary and in-depth. Still, the festival has been around for over 25 years, so it seems likely there are good sources in music magazines and the like that I've missed. Mach61 06:50, 15 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  As said in nom, no WP:INDEPTH SIGCOV. WP:ROUTINE coverage as mandated in all criterias of WP:NEVENT. There are various subjects with the very same name, so not sure about the results you got. @ Mach61 Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits ( T) 10:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  @ User4edits My argument is that even insignificant coverage over a long time period is enough to show that the festival is of some repute, and since it has been around for a few decades, it is likely that sources I have not or cannot find have covered it in depth; for example, in an offline source that I could only read if I went to a library in India. Notability is not based on if sources are currently cited, it is based on if sources exist.

  
  

  Of course, the presumption of coverage only goes so far. If the Festival got very few hits online, I would have no reason to assume it was prominent enough to receive offline coverage, and if it was founded more recently, I would assume that almost all sources discussing it would be online. But neither of those things are true in this case. Mach61 11:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC) reply

• Keep - the article is collaborative and well-referenced, and reports a significant regional cultural event; the large number of relevant and pertinent wikilinks to notable bands and performers demonstrates the significance of the festival in related articles.
