Cherry Blossom Festival 2024 Shillong: A Line-Up to Blossom Over
The Cherry Blossom Festival 2024 in Meghalaya gets an exciting twist! Akon’s rescheduled performance on 15 November and Clean Bandit’s debut on 16 November promise an unforgettable lineup, along with a special cultural partnership with Japan.
Hold onto your hats, folks – this year’s Cherry Blossom Festival in Meghalaya has just upped the ante, delivering a cracking surprise that’s bound to leave festival-goers as pleased as punch. In a delightful twist, the originally scheduled performance by Akon has been shifted forward a day. That’s right – he’ll now be gracing the stage on 15 November, thanks to a shuffle in his Asia tour dates. And if you think that’s good news, wait until you hear what’s in store for Day 2.
As if the festival wasn’t already top-notch, organisers of the Cherry Blossom festival have gone ahead and brought in Grammy-winning pop sensation Clean Bandit as headliners for 16 November. Known for their genre-blending hits, this British pop group is making their first-ever appearance in India, and fans couldn’t be more chuffed. With their signature blend of classical and electronic sounds, Clean Bandit’s debut promises to be an absolute corker of a performance.
What’s more, festival attendees are getting this stellar upgrade without so much as a penny added to ticket prices. That’s right – a spiced-up line-up for the same price. Talk about a bargain!
But it’s not just the music that’s bringing a world of wonder to Meghalaya this year. In a unique collaboration with TRTL Tokyo, Japan is stepping in as the official country partner, adding an international twist to the festivities. There’ll be a dedicated “Japan Zone” where attendees can dive into the fascinating world of Japanese culture – from traditional crafts to culinary delights. If you’re itching to learn about calligraphy, tea ceremonies, or just try some authentic ramen, this one’s for you.
Organised by Meghalaya Tourism in tandem with Rockski EMG, the Cherry Blossom Festival has truly blossomed into an unmissable event on the calendar. So, whether you’re there to catch Akon’s energetic set, revel in Clean Bandit’s Indian debut, or simply bask in the beauty of Meghalaya’s cherry blossoms with a hint of Japanese flair, this festival is set to be the toast of the town.
So, ready your festival kit and bring your dancing shoes. This November, Meghalaya is the place to be, blooming with music, culture, and, of course, cherry blossoms – it’s sure to be a right cracker of an event!
