Reflecting on the incredible opportunity, the band shared, “Akon is a cultural icon, a voice that has resonated across generations in India. To share the stage as one of his supporting acts is a big honour and a defining moment to showcase our artistry on such a prestigious platform.”

Frequently regarded as India's counterpart to One Direction and BTS, OutStation has swiftly won over young fans all around the nation.

When their creative project, OutStation Prom, made its debut in Mumbai, it caused a stir as the country's first teen pop prom night. Thousands of fans gathered for a unique celebration of music, youth, and dreams.

The prom night was an immediate success; tickets sold out in a matter of hours, which is remarkable given that the band had not yet released a single song. This achievement demonstrated the strong, natural connection OutStation has with its expanding audience.

Talking about the inspiration behind the event, the band explained, “We want to create a space where young people can celebrate and feel at home. The idea of a prom night is something that we all aspired to growing up. It just felt like the most natural and entertaining way to celebrate our own release while giving our fans a night they definitely wouldn't forget. Everything we do as OutStation should feel special and we hope each and every one who came and screamed for us felt that as much as we did.”

Their upcoming performance at Akon’s concert marks a major milestone in OutStation’s journey. In just four months, they’ve built a passionate fanbase, and their debut single—set to release on November 18, 2025—will arrive right after this landmark performance. This moment will further establish them as the pioneers of India’s rising teen pop movement.
