Bandra Wonderland 2025 Day 2: The Carter Road Lineup That Will Fix Your Christmas FOMO

Okay, we need to talk about where you're spending Christmas night because if your answer isn't Carter Road, you’re doing it wrong. The timeline is already spiraling over the "Lights of Hope" installation, but Day 2 (Dec 25) is about to be a total cultural reset. While South Bombay is busy being overpriced, Bandra is giving us a full-blown festival lineup for free. The math is definitely mathing. If you don't show up, don't cry when your Instagram feed is flooded with neon lights and Afro house beats while you're stuck at home watching Home Alone for the 50th time.

The Lineup: Actually Gas, No Filler

Usually, free events give us "Spotify Shuffle" energy, but the curators for Day 2 woke up and chose violence (in a good way).

• The Opener: Emcee Kenneth (6 PM) is starting the night. He’s the vibe curator. If you want a good spot, you need to be there when he starts.

• The Heavy Hitters: Then we have DJ Albert (7 PM) doing the commercial sets, followed by the main event, DJ Afterall (8 PM).

• The Insider Take: DJ Afterall isn't just some local guy with a laptop; he’s played Sunburn and opened for HUGEL. Getting a Sunburn-level set for zero rupees? We are seated.

• The Closer: DJ Prakash (9 PM) is wrapping it up with Bollywood x Electronic mashups. If he plays that "Husn" remix, I fear the crowd might actually ascend.

The Aesthetics vs. The Reality

The "Lights of Hope" installation is stunning—think huge glowing trees and star-lit arches. It’s giving "Main Character in a Hallmark Movie" but with better humidity.

• The Desi Angle: Listen, it’s 2km of lights. Prepare for the "Poo from K3G" wannabes blocking the path for reels, and the WhatsApp Uncles trying to figure out if the lights are LEDs or fairy lights. It’s chaotic, but it’s our chaos.
  

The Survival Guide (Unfiltered)

• Parking: Do not bring your car unless you want to spend Christmas in a traffic jam that rivals the Silk Board junction. Take a rickshaw or walk from the station.

• Food: There are stalls, but the queues will be longer than a Taylor Swift ticket presale. Eat before you come, or prepare to fight for a vada pav.
