The Nizami Bandhu, which has ties to Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya and Hazrat Amir Khusro, were also seen in the song “Kun Faya Kun” with Ranbir Kapoor in the movie Rockstar. They have performed in many Indian as well as international cultural programs. Also, the Nizami family has been offering music at the Nizamuddin Dargah for 700 years.

In its 11 years, the festival has managed to create a niche for itself in the capital’s collegiate circle. Spandan was the first to hold a Sunburn On Campus with DJ Sartek and a footfall of 10,000 students. As a promotional cum charity endeavour, last year, Spandan also organized one of India's largest ALS ice bucket challenges at the college premises, with more than 800 students becoming a part of the movement.
