From an electrifying Michael Jackson tribute to Broadway favourites and global icons, the ticketing platform sets the stage for a bold new chapter in Sri Lanka’s cultural landscape 

Cinnamon Box Office (CBO), the strategic ticketing engine connecting audiences, event partners and world-class productions, unveiled its Destination Event Calendar at an official launch held on 6 August 2026 at City of Dreams Sri Lanka — a milestone moment for Sri Lanka’s entertainment industry and a clear signal of Colombo’s ambition to become a vibrant regional hub for culture, creativity and entertainment. 

As part of its expanding Destination Event Calendar, Cinnamon Box Office unveiled the much-anticipated This Is Michael – Relive the Legend, presented by City of Dreams Sri Lanka — the world’s premier Michael Jackson tribute production, celebrating the music and legacy of the King of Pop. The live show takes the stage on 8 and 9 November 2026 at The Podium, City of Dreams Sri Lanka, bringing this internationally acclaimed performance to Sri Lankan audiences. 

Recognised internationally as a leading Michael Jackson tribute production, This Is Michael – Relive the Legend recreates the energy, artistry and spectacle of the King of Pop’s legendary performances in an electrifying concert experience. A world-class performer celebrated for his striking resemblance and vocal likeness to Michael Jackson leads the show, combining iconic choreography, live music, spectacular visuals, signature costumes and Michael Jackson’s greatest hits — delivering a performance that has captivated audiences across the globe. 

Through events of this calibre, Cinnamon Box Office is fuelling the growth of Sri Lanka’s creative economy, connecting audiences, event partners and globally recognised productions, and supporting Colombo’s evolution into a dynamic city defined by year-round cultural, entertainment and lifestyle experiences. 

Built on more than a decade of experience delivering entertainment, lifestyle and knowledge experiences across Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, Cinnamon Life and now City of Dreams Sri Lanka, CBO brings together deep expertise in ticketing, event access, hospitality and audience engagement — building on a strong legacy of enabling a diverse portfolio of ticketed experiences across entertainment, lifestyle, knowledge and destination events. 

From bringing Broadway productions such as Mamma Mia the Musical and The Sound of Music to Sri Lanka, to hosting internationally renowned culinary personalities including Nigella Lawson, George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan and Marco Pierre White, Cinnamon Box Office has continued to expand the scope of premium entertainment available to Sri Lankan audiences. 

More recently, the platform supported La Bamba: The Song of Veracruz, presented by City of Dreams Sri Lanka and John Keells Foundation, further strengthening its role in Colombo’s evolving entertainment landscape.
