invalid server name or wildcard in a virtual host in nginx

Question

I have the following virtual host configuration for nginx in a virtual host:

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;

        server_name angularindepth.com
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ https://blog.angularindepth.com/$1 redirect;
}

But when I run nginx it gives me the following errors:

[warn] 5007#5007: server name "^/(.*)$" has suspicious symbols in ...

[warn] 5007#5007: server name "https://blog.angularindepth.com/$1" has suspicious symbols in ...

[emerg] 5007#5007: invalid server name or wildcard "^/(.*)$" on 0.0.0.0:80

I've googled and all questions seem to be around server_name directive, whereas in my case it contains a proper name. The problem seems to be with rewrite directive. Am I right? What's the problem?

A missing semi-colon here:

server_name angularindepth.com;
