Rock Ethos is an annual rock music festival launched in 2008 at Bangalore, where top Indian rock acts converge on a common platform to present their original compositions. The festival aims to promote original music in India; to promote anti-piracy; to let rock bands decide on their requirements; to build a platform for rock bands to be recognized; and to create an international rock festival experience. The international caliber rock festival made a statement that rock bands in India no longer need rely on covers to sell popularity. Rock Ethos celebrates the spirit of rock music in the city which has grown to be one of the most happening cities in the international rock map.
The fest, construed on the lines of international rock concerts, has rock bands performing for 45 minutes each, unlike the regular 20–30 minutes allotted time. Pyrotechnics, Bungee jumping, Paintball Contests, Food & Refreshment Zones are a part of this rock carnival. A city wide Treasure Hunt called Huduku was planned for 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or ethos:
“Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Reading more than life teaches us to recognize ethos and pathos.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
