AFTER CONFIRMING SHOWS IN Shillong and Bengaluru in October, Dutch metallers Textures realized they had one more offer from India—a slot at Bacardi NH7 Weekender’s Pune edition, between December 8th and 10th. That was an entire week after their officially announced last show in Tilburg as part of their farewell tour.
Drummer Stef Broks says over the phone from Utrecht, “We even had a meeting about it. We said, ‘If there’s one country that deserves this honor, it’s India.’ We just decided to go for it. If it was probably any other country, we’d just cancel it.”
When Textures announced in May it would dissolve by the end of 2017, there was the Last Miles to the Moon tour dates across Europe, and fans in India hoped the band would stop by the country they’ve been playing in regularly since their 2009 debut at Deccan Rock Festival in Bengaluru. Broks says, “We knew it was possible to go to India as well.”
