New Delhi: Grammy-winner Ricky Kej on Wednesday unveiled the guest artist ensemble for his tour 'DAMROOH,' and it will feature artists like Keith Middleton, Sudhir Yaduvanshi and Siddharth Basrur.
Produced and promoted by Wizcraft, the tour's international contingent is led by Middleton, a lead performer with STOMP for more than eighteen years.
The vocal core will feature Bollywood playback stars Yaduvanshi, Basrur, Anjana Padmanabhan, and Abi K Safa, anchored by classical vocalist Siddhartha Belmannu.
Driving the rhythm section will be percussionists Karthik Mani and Arun Kumar, while the instrumental textures will be rounded out by sitarists Mayank Raina and Arjun Anand, sarangi player Manonmani, and electric guitarist Shashank Akella.
Kej will trade his usual festival format for an entirely new, fully seated, immersive orchestral experience which will run in support of UNICEF, honouring his long-standing environmental and humanitarian mission.
Anchored around the rhythm of the 'Damaru', audiences will experience a cinematic symphonic orchestra elevated by immersive, tech-driven staging and rare global instruments like the Kora, Hang Drum, Sarod and Didgeridoo, a release said.
The tour kicks off on October 31, 2026, at the Terraform Arena in Bengaluru, followed by a performance on November 28, 2026, at Leisure Valley Park in New Delhi NCR (Gurugram), and wraps up its primary announced dates on December 5, 2026, at the MMRDA Grounds in Mumbai.
Additional major stops in Hyderabad and Chennai are scheduled to be announced soon. Tickets for this multi-city arena tour are available on District by Zomato.
