This Winter : International Pop Icons BLUE to Headline Sangai Festival 2025 in Imphal

Imphal is all set to witness one of its most exciting festival seasons as the globally celebrated English band BLUE prepares to perform live at the Sangai Festival 2025. Known worldwide for timeless hits such as “One Love,” “All Rise,” “Guilty,” and “Fly By,” the band’s arrival is expected to draw fans, music lovers, and festivalgoers from across the region.

The Sangai Festival has grown into a cultural powerhouse over the years, showcasing the essence of Manipur through traditional performances, global collaborations, indigenous crafts, and world-class entertainment. With BLUE joining the lineup this year, the festival further strengthens its position on the international stage, promising an electrifying experience for attendees.
