Get Ready to Sing Your Heart Out: Echo Vibes Mass-oke Debuts in Colombo

02 Jun 2026 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}      

What is Mass-oke? It’s the question on everyone’s lips — and the answer is pure, electrifying fun. Echo Vibes Mass-oke is not your average night out. It’s a high-energy, mass karaoke experience where the audience becomes the star of the show. Backed by a live band and led by dynamic hosts, hundreds of voices unite as giant screens light up with lyrics — transforming the crowd into one unforgettable chorus. This is where strangers become friends, inhibitions fade, and everyone gets to unleash their inner rockstar — even if just for one night.

Fresh off the success of last year’s Echo Vibes, R&R Entertainment’s Roy Piyaratne set out to create something bold and entirely new for local audiences. He joined forces with Creative Director Aida Mansoor, and the idea for Echo Vibes Mass-oke was born.

Based in London, Aida drew inspiration from the city’s hugely popular Massaoke events, bringing with her first-hand experience of their infectious energy and crowd-driven atmosphere. She describes them as “unforgettable, high-energy experiences where entire crowds sing in unison, united by nostalgia and pure joy. Strangers become best friends as they belt out their favourite songs together, swept up in the transformative power of music.”

Inspired by this global phenomenon, R&R Entertainment aims to recreate that same sense of connection, excitement, and shared celebration — introducing Sri Lankan audiences to an immersive live music event unlike anything they’ve experienced before. “Echo Vibes Mass-oke is about bringing people together through music and collective energy,” said Roy Piyaratne. “We want to create an atmosphere where everyone in the room feels connected and part of something truly memorable.”

Now, for the first time, R&R Entertainment brings this worldwide musical sensation to Colombo. Joining the experience are the fantastic band OIC and dynamic vocalists Greg and Dina, who will lead audiences through crowd-favourite anthems throughout the night. Keeping the energy soaring between crowd singalong moments will be Colombo’s legendary DJ Bonnie, whose electrifying sets promise to transform the venue into a pulsating dance floor packed with powerhouse hits and crowd favourites. Whether you’re singing at the top of your lungs or dancing the night away, Echo Vibes Mass-oke promises the ultimate live music experience.
