SRI Lanka's longest-running concert dedicated to supporting children’s causes, Country Roads, will stage its 37th edition on Sunday, 19 October 2025 at Cinnamon Life.

- By MICHELLE THERESE ALLES

A stellar ensemble features the Mavericks from Germany, and longstanding local favourites, The Cosmic Rays, and Feizal and the Country Revival Band with Thilan Wijesinghe. Also joining the stage is acclaimed guitarist Allan Outschoorn, alongside rising YouTube sensation Manethree, who will be making her Country Roads debut.

Organised by the Country Music Foundation (CMF), the annual fundraiser has, over nearly four decades, become a much-anticipated event on the local music calendar, with all proceeds going to children’s charities.

This year, the concert moves to a new venue at The Forum, Cinnamon Life, South Asia’s first integrated resort.
