Bhubaneswar: A world-class celebration of hockey will be held on 11 January 2023 in Barabati Stadium, Cuttack, to commemorate the beginning of the Hockey World Cup 2023.

The FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar – Rourkela is set to commence on 13 January 2023.

According to reports, the show will feature live performances by India’s leading stars Ranveer Singh and Disha Patani along with Blackswan, the famous K-Pop band featuring Odisha’s own Shreya Lenka.

Amongst the stars is Pritam, the writer and composer of the Hockey World Cup 2023 song, who will take the stage and enthral everyone along with vocalists like Benny Dayal, Neeti Mohan, Lisa Mishra, Amit Mishra, Antara Mitra, Sreerama Chandra, Nakash Aziz and Shalmali Kholgade and Namita Meleka from Odisha. Guru Aruna Mohanty and national award winner Shiamak Davar have choreographed the dance performances.

The event will also feature many local Odia stars and performers.

Aptly titled ‘Celebrations,’ the show will serve as the precursor event to the opening of the tournament on January 13, 2023, with a star-studded cast lined up for all manner of performances, songs, dances, and technology; while incorporating the cultural aspects of Odisha. Serving as the host nation of the Hockey World Cup for the second consecutive time, India, and more specifically, Odisha, has taken every measure to ensure that our guests from the 15 visiting the World Cup events will bear witness to one of the most spectacular shows ever created.

‘Celebrations’ incorporates aspects of traditional Odia music and dance, as well as the use of innovative new technology during the show that is sure to create a spectacle that will leave audiences awe-struck. While the show will be broadcast across national TV channels, those present in the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, Odisha, will get the full experience of the show amongst ecstatic fans in the stadium.

“The Celebration is an integral part of the tournament as it symbolises our pride in both our state and in our nation for playing host to the Hockey World Cup for the second consecutive time. With stars from the local film industry, Bollywood, traditional singers, and even acts from overseas, this promises to be a show that you won’t want to miss. It gives me great pride to offer a warm welcome to all our national and foreign guests as one of the hosts of the tournament and invite them to come to celebrate the spirit of hockey with us!” Hockey India President Padma Shri Dilip Tirkey.
