Tura, Nov 25: Garo Hills is buzzing with anticipation as the 3rd Edition of the Me•Gong Festival is just around the corner, promising another unforgettable experience with big-name headliners, delicious food and exciting entertainment activities.
The excitement is already in the air, the festival takes place at the same unique as previous years—Baljek Airport in Jengjal, West Garo Hills—from November 29 to 30.
Named after a flower, the Me•Gong Festival is a celebration of the vibrant lifestyle, rich culture and distinctive traditions of Garo Hills region.
The 2024 lineup is bigger than ever, with international and national stars set to take the stage. Headliners include Swedish rock legends Europe, rock icons Indus Creed, the popular fusion/pop band Euphoria, and multi-talented actor and DJ-producer Udita Goswami. But it doesn’t stop there—audiences can also look forward to electrifying performances from local talent like Da Suraka, the dynamic rock act Haystack Ladies, folk-fusion ensemble Summersalt, and many more over the course of two days.
As part of its mission to uplift local talent, the Me•Gong Festival will also showcase emerging Garo Hills-based artists at the Meghalaya Grassroots Music Project (MGMP) arena, creating a platform for regional musicians to shine.
Beyond the music, the festival offers a host of engaging activities: a traditional Garo village experience, a lively brew competition, exciting traditional games, and special Maharaja tents for international guests.
Tickets start at an affordable ₹299, giving attendees access to a diverse range of attractions, from culinary delights and local craft stalls to fun activities like hot air balloon rides and dedicated gaming zones.
Additionally, students can enjoy a special discount with General Admission tickets available for just ₹150. Tickets are now available in Tura, Williamnagar, Resubelpara and Baghmara.

To accommodate the influx of visitors, including those traveling from Shillong, across Meghalaya and beyond, the festival organizers have thoughtfully arranged camping sites within the venue. This makes it easier for guests to enjoy the festival without worrying about traffic or accommodation.
Parking and access at the Me•Gong Festival have been carefully planned to ensure a smooth experience for all attendees. Different zones have been set up to manage pedestrian and vehicle traffic efficiently, making it easy for guests to navigate their way to the event. From the airport entrance, both General Admission (GA) and Superfan ticket holders will follow clearly marked pedestrian and car zones up to the festival gate, ensuring a safe and organized entry process.
For those driving to the festival, designated parking areas have been allocated on the runway itself, specifically for GA and Superfan ticket holders. This allows for convenient parking close to the venue, minimizing any hassle for attendees who arrive by car.
In addition, Platinum ticket holders and VVIP pass holders will enjoy exclusive entry privileges. A dedicated VVIP entrance has been set up, offering swift access for those with Platinum tickets and VVIP car passes, ensuring they have a seamless and comfortable arrival experience.
The Me•Gong Festival has proven its staying power as a must-attend event in the region. Last year, the festival near Baljek Airport featured headliners like Vengaboys, When Chai Met Toast, Armaan Malik, and Parikrama, drawing a massive crowds.
