Inclusive Talent Shines Bright

The concert kicked off with a breathtaking performance by Nibedita Pradhan, the inclusive artist from Alive India Rockstars.

Nibedita’s soulful renditions of timeless Sufi classics like “Naino Ki Mat Maniyo” and “Teri Deewani” seamlessly transitioned into high-energy pop hits like “Crazy Kiya Re” and “Oo Antavva”.

Dubbed the “Chhota Packet Bada Dhamaka,” her powerful voice and dynamic stage presence set the tone for an electrifying evening. 

Zubeen Garg and Zublee: A Powerhouse Duo

The excitement reached its peak when Zubeen Garg took the stage, joined by the mesmerizing Zublee, for a performance that will be etched in the hearts of fans forever.

The duo delivered a mix of Assamese gems and Bollywood favourites, including “Ya Ali,” “Jane Kya Chahe Mann,” “Dil Tu Hi Bata,” and a medley of folk-infused hits.

Zublee’s angelic voice elevated the experience, creating a symphony of musical perfection.

Fans showered the artists with gifts and uncontainable energy, singing along and cheering for every note.
