Sean Paul to perform in India for Diwali Festival

Reggae artiste Sean Paul is scheduled to perform a series of concert in India during the Diwali Festival in November.

In a press release by the organisers Blue Note Entertainment confirmed that Sean Paul is being planned around Diwali and the concerts will be based on the theme of the Festival of Lights.

Mr. Prashant Kumar, Director Operations, Blue Note Entertainment, said, “India is a huge market for international artistes and we aim to capitalize on this opportunity by delivering professionally managed concerts that appeal to the modern youth. A lot of artistes talk about 'staying on the grind', but few work harder than Sean Paul. He has done much more than any other dancehall artist to bring the dedicated sound of Kingston to new audiences around the world. Moreover an artist like Sean Paul is much loved across the globe and after a research of over one year we decided to bring him down to India. We are working towards concerts in Dubai and Nepal apart from India for Sean Paul and have received stupendous response.”

Mr. Fardeen Shirazi, Creative Head, Blue Note Entertainment said, “We are strategizing on a concept based on Diwali and interestingly our stage set-up and décor will comprise mirrors, lights and crystals, something that hasn’t been explored before in India. We will also be using international dancers on stage to add a global touch and make it look like one big party as seen internationally at most concerts. We can assure you that his concerts will be mind-blowing and electric and we promise to give all his fans in India a night to remember.”

Sean Paul also confirmed, "It's your boy Sean and you heard it straight from me — India get ready for my live show. The wait is finally over and now for the first time ever, I'm excited to bring my live show to India. I can't wait for my fans to join me where I'll be performing all of your favourites and some new songs from my latest album.

Sean Paul released his fifth studio album Tomhawk Technique in January 2012 that features collaborations with numerous R&B and electronica artists like Akon, Stargate, Kelly Rowland, Pitbull among others. Blue Note Entertainment, the tour organizers, are yet to announce dates and cities that will be covered.
