The headliner line-up for the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival 2023 was revealed today.
The event will be held from November 17 to 19 at Madan Kurkalang in Ri-Bhoi. Tourism Minister Paul Lyngdoh today explained that the organisers have opted to move the event out of Shillong to accommodate the expected huge crowds.
The line-up includes internationally acclaimed sensations such as Ne-Yo, Ronan Keating, Sanam, Jonas Blue, SURL, Pink Panda, Kenny Musik and an array of local talents, including Meba Ofilia, Lou Majaw, Blue Temptation and many more credible artists from Shillong and the North East.
“This year the government is investing Rs 1.99 crore out of the total investment of Rs 9 crore. 30,000 tourists per day will be visiting and we are expecting huge benefits for the tourism industry through this festival,” Lyngdoh said.
Ne-Yo, the Grammy Award-winning R&B artist known for his chart-topping hits, and Ronan Keating, the iconic voice behind timeless classics, Sanam, the YouTube sensation and heartthrob, Jonas Blue and Pink Panda will keep the energy soaring with their electrifying performances.
