DesiYUP believes that sustainability in the music industry is of great importance. Over the years DesiYUP endorsed ‘being in harmony with nature’ and therefore actively promoted a healthy vegetarian lifestyle. During our events we only serve vegetarian or vegan food to our artists and audience.

Dear professional musician, never say that you will perform for free!

I am always honored to read emails sent by musicians or bands from across the globe. It’s good to know that DesiYUP is visible as an event organizer and that artists are interested to work with us. But dearest musicians and bands: offering your art for free is not the right approach to establish a relationship built on mutual respect and equality. There are many event organizers and concert promoters who take advantage of upcoming talent. They are eager to make artists perform for free and earn some easy money. This irresponsible attitude damages the entire live performing scene in my opinion.
