Win a Backstage Pass to Darbar Festival
This year, we’re taking you backstage with us. To celebrate our loyal Darbar Festival fans, we’re picking ten lucky bookers to meet the artist of their choice at this year’s festival, complete with a photo opportunity and more. This is a rare chance to step beyond the audience and into the world behind the performance, to shake hands with the musicians whose ragas have moved you, and to take home a memory that goes well beyond the concert itself.
All you have to do is book tickets for any of our four main Barbican Hall concerts before 31st July, and you’re automatically entered. The more concerts you book, the better your chances of winning, so don’t miss your chance to meet your favourite artists face to face. Whether it’s the thrill of a midnight jugalbandi or the warmth of a traditional kacheri, this is your opportunity to experience Darbar Festival like never before, on stage, backstage, and everywhere in between.
