From 9am-9pm every day, there is something for the whole family. The weekend kicks off with the Mela (taking place over the three days) featuring around 200 unique exhibitors with everything from fashion, jewellery, home appliances, décor, henna art, food, music, a kiddies entertainment centre, a full day’s entertainment stage with over two hundred local entertainers and so much more.
Top Indian fashion designers will feature their work on Friday, 2 December. The likes of Vikram Phadnis, Joy Mitra, Krishna Mehtra and Pawan & Pranav will showcase their latest collections, paired with incredible local musicians, dancers and comedians in the Blu Blood Bollywood Variety Show.
Comedy lovers can look forward to a local line-up on Saturday, 3 December, with the very best of South Africa’s Indian comedians as they take laughter and hilarity to the next level in Kings & Queens of Comedy And All’. The royal line-up includes the likes of Riaad Moosa, Yaaseen Barnes, Simmi Arreff and Leeanda Reddy.
The event culminates on Sunday, 4 December with two of the biggest powerhouses in the Bollywood music industry – Sonu Nigam and Atif Aslam live in concert. While no strangers to South Africa, they’ve both performed to sold-out audiences with Blu Blood around the country, but this will be the first time on African soil that these two megastars will be sharing a stage. Performing all their greatest hits and paying tribute to the music legends of India and Pakistan, this performance will leave you in awe.
Tickets are currently available for Sonu Nigam and Atif Aslam from Computicket and Shoprite Checkers outlets. Tickets range from R250 to R5,000 with room packages at Tsogo Sun’s range of hotels being made available. Tickets for the Blu Blood Bollywood Experience, Kings & Queens and the Variety Show are all available on Computicket.
