Milestone is one of the most youthful and talented music bands of Mangalore. Milestone has carved out a place for itself in the hearts of the people of Mangalore and Udupi, despite the fact that the band came into existence barely a year ago, in 2009.
Milestone has enthralled the audience with performances ranging from soft ballads, disco, rock, pop, folk, fusion to foot-tapping Baila numbers; the band plays all kinds of genres with a blend of coastal essence to go with it.
