• On Manike Mage Hithe

Yohani plays Orion Mall in Rajajinagar on Saturday, January 16, 2027, at 7 PM, with tickets from Rs 1,179 on District. Most people in the room will know exactly one song, which is a strange and quite freeing way to arrive at a concert.

The Colombo singer and rapper turned Manike Mage Hithe into one of the biggest crossover hits the subcontinent has had this decade, and has since built a catalogue in Sinhala, English and Hindi. Live, she leans into that mix, which makes for a genuinely unusual set in a city that mostly gets Bollywood or western pop.

When and Where Is the Concert?

Saturday, January 16, 2027, at 7 PM at Orion Mall on Dr Rajkumar Road, Rajajinagar. Entry is 18 plus with photo ID, and tickets are on District.

What Will She Play?

Her Sinhala catalogue, the Hindi and English releases, and the song you came for. Expect Manike Mage Hithe late in the set, and expect the room to be considerably louder than it was ninety seconds earlier.

  • The Sinhala songs. The best part of the set, and the part most of the room will hear for the first time.
  • The crossover work. Her Hindi releases sit comfortably alongside the rest.
  • The hit. You know when it is coming. So does she.

Is It Worth Going If I Only Know One Song?

Yes, and that is genuinely the case for this show. A room where most people are hearing the catalogue fresh gives a concert a different energy, and her live band does the songs more justice than the streaming versions.
