The Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival 2024 is all set to bring an exciting lineup of international and Indian artists, headlined by Senegalese-American pop star Akon, pop group Boney M’s Maizie Williams, and Hong Kong rapper-singer Lucas. The festival will take place on November 15 and 16 at the RBDSA Sports Complex in Shillong, Meghalaya.
Akon, known for hits like Smack That and Lonely, will perform in India for the first time since his appearance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding earlier this year. Boney M’s Williams will also take the stage as part of the group’s farewell world tour, promising a nostalgic performance of disco classics.
