The country's top music composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy announced dates for their upcoming 'Cheers India' tour.

Tying up with McDowell's, the tour will kick off at Kolkata on October 12 and the group will visit seven other venues across the country including Mumbai on October 20.

'It will be a high energy concert. For the last ten years people have heard our music ... this is a chance to come and see us play live,' said Loy Mendonsa.

'The tour is a tribute to young Indians, and will be used to give amateurs and semi-professional bands a chance to cut CDs' and distribute them,' added a McDowell's spokesperson.

The 'Cheers India' tour plans to add more dates and hit 20 cities next year.
