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.

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.

“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.
