Talking about this multi-city tour, Ferzad Palia, EVP, Viacom18 and Head- Youth and English entertainment says, “With The Stage, we gave the English music talent of India a platform for the first time. Now we are taking the best of that talent across the country to 8 cities to perform live. They have wooed India with their musical prowess before, and I am certain that they will receive immense appreciation this time around as well. We are extremely excited about the tour and hope that our viewers will enjoy the experience.”
