MUMBAI: Famous pop band of the late 90s, the Vengaboys, are coming to India. The 'Shalala Lala' hitmakers will be performing in three cities countrywide – Mumbai, Chennai and Goa on 8, 9 and 10 May respectively. The news comes after the dance pop band updated their touring schedule on their website. It is yet to be confirmed if this will be a part of the group's 'non-stop world tour' called 'The Vengaboys Live Experience'.
The band took a hiatus after their last studio album called 'The Platinum Album' in 2002. After the band's members changed, the Eurodance group returned to the stage in 2006, performing at various university student union clubs across UK and Ireland. Since then, Vengaboys has released four new singles, with two more scheduled to release this year. Since its 2002 album, the band has not released a full length studio album.
Vengaboys are well known for songs like 'We Like to Party (The Vengabus)', 'Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom' and 'Shalala Lala', all of which have received a platinum status. Last May, Vengaboys released a special 2014 version of their song 'To Brazil!' in association with the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The revelation of Vengaboys coming to India had the band trending across Mumbai on Twitter.

If the Vengaboys news is true, I'm gathering all my pao friends and going for it. They may be dated but I know all the words to their songs.
