  • 4 performances in a day
  • 1st dinner show after restrictions being eased
  • 1st Christmas concert ushering in the season

With restrictions easing a tad, the De Lanerolle Brothers will stage 4 concerts in 1 day to dispel the doom and gloom and thereby usher in the Christmas season with 4 physical performances in one day on the lines of "Can't Wait for Christmas."  This concert will be the first physical concert to be held post  lockdown and it's the concert that has earned a reputation as being the Christmas show to be at if you were to get into the Christmas mood. The concert will be followed by meals at the Graze Kitchen of the Hilton, Colombo. Each concert will have only the stipulated amount of guests and crews as per the health guidelines issued. Generally the DLB concert takes stage in the Hilton Ballroom however this time it will be in the Hilton Lobby so that the guests are in a wider ‘open space.’
The concerts,  all in theatre style with social distancing will start at 11am followed by lunch.  The 2nd concert is purchased privately, the 3rd from 6.30 to 7.30 and the last one for the day from 8.30 to 9.30pm.
