The event is expected to draw fans from across the Northeast for what promises to be one of the most memorable international pop concerts in the region. Next on the tour is Gangtok, where Blue will headline the first-ever international concert in Sikkim, held at Paljor Stadium on December 13, 2025.
The event coincides with Sikkim’s 50th Year of Statehood, making it a landmark celebration that blends music, culture, and tourism. Blue will share the stage with K-pop royalty Everglow, offering fans an unprecedented double-headliner experience that merges two global pop cultures on one stage.
“This is a major milestone, the first international concert in Sikkim’s history,” says Jason Manners, founder of Rockski Event & Media Group, organisers of the Sikkim and Bangalore legs. “It’s a cultural breakthrough for the region and a proud moment for all of us involved.”
