Vinod Bhanushali’s Hitz Music expands globally with live event ventures

Hitz Music takes a global leap

Hitz Music, a dynamic force in the Indian music industry, is taking a bold step onto the global stage by venturing into live events. The label’s inaugural event will be the official after-party for the highly anticipated Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) Dubai, a thrilling combat sports spectacle.

The event, co-owned by David Feldman and Conor McGregor, is organised by the World League of Fighters (WLF) and will be held at the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Stadium on 4th and 5th April 2025.

For those unfamiliar with BKFC, it is a unique and intense form of boxing where fighters compete without gloves, showcasing raw athleticism and fierce combat. This will be the organisation’s Middle East debut, adding to the excitement of the region's combat sports scene.

After the action-packed bouts, the BKFC after-party promises an unforgettable night of music and energy, headlined by MRAK, one of the world’s most renowned DJs, and a key figure in TALE OF US. MRAK, known for his electrifying performances at major global festivals like Tomorrowland, is set to create an exhilarating atmosphere for fans.

The second day’s after-party will feature Dubai’s own popular DJs, ARKDYAN and NADER, who are known for their ability to sell out venues and provide an unforgettable musical experience.

Vinod Bhanushali, of Hitz Music, commented, “Indian music is going global, with so many artists making a name on the international stage. Venturing into live events was a conscious and thoughtful decision, as it opens new avenues for artists to perform and create more music. Partnering with WLF for BKFC Dubai for our first event marks an exciting new chapter for Hitz Music, allowing us to take our vision to a global stage and create unparalleled opportunities for artists to thrive.”

Rajesh Banga and Sunil Mathew, co-owners of WLF, shared, “We are thrilled to welcome Hitz Music as the official entertainment partner for BKFC, one of our biggest sports events. It’s an exciting collaboration. With MRAK, one of the world’s most renowned DJs, set to deliver a spectacular experience, we know our audience is in for a treat. We look forward to building a long and successful partnership with Hitz Music for many more such incredible events in the future.”

This collaboration marks Hitz Music’s entry into live events, aiming to curate premium entertainment experiences that seamlessly combine music with high-profile global events.

The partnership with WLF signals the beginning of many such ventures, as Hitz Music continues to push creative boundaries and redefine audience engagement worldwide.
