In a landmark development for Sri Lanka's entertainment landscape, Cinnamon Box Office (CBO) has unveiled its Destination Event Calendar, signaling Colombo's determination to emerge as a leading regional hub for cultural experiences. The official launch took place on August 6, 2026, at the City of Dreams Sri Lanka, marking a significant milestone for the nation's burgeoning creative economy.
At the heart of this new venture is a groundbreaking production - "This Is Michael - Relive the Legend," an internationally acclaimed tribute concert to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Presented by City of Dreams Sri Lanka, this event is scheduled to take place on November 8-9, 2026, at The Podium. The show will faithfully recreate the electrifying atmosphere and visual splendor of Jackson's iconic performances, featuring a world-class artist who masterfully replicates the King's likeness, vocals, and signature dance moves.
CBO's press release emphasized that the platform transcends the role of a simple ticketing service. It functions as a strategic engine, connecting Sri Lankan audiences with world-class productions. Building on a decade of experience within Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts and Cinnamon Life, CBO boasts an impressive portfolio that includes Broadway musicals like "Mamma Mia" and "The Sound of Music," culinary experiences with celebrity chefs, and high-profile engagements with global figures.
This latest endeavor underscores CBO's unwavering commitment to expanding the realm of premium entertainment accessible to the local audience.
Leaders from John Keells Group and Cinnamon Hotels echoed the platform's broader vision, highlighting its role as an integrated ecosystem that weaves together elements of entertainment, hospitality, and tourism. By showcasing world-class events, they aspire to entice both locals and tourists to spend more time in Colombo, thereby fortifying the city's reputation as a dynamic destination for culture and live entertainment.
With a steadily growing event calendar, CBO is poised to bring the world's stage closer to home, offering Sri Lankans an unparalleled taste of international entertainment.
