The “Swadhinata Concert”, organised by the platform “Shobar Agey Bangladesh”, has been postponed by a day and will now be held on Saturday, April 12. Originally slated for Friday (April 11), the decision to defer the event was made due to a solidarity rally in Dhaka on that day protesting the ongoing Israeli attacks on Palestine, according to the organisers.

While most popular bands took the stage, Artcell, one of the main attractions, was unable to perform due to unforeseen circumstances.

The capital’s Manik Mia Avenue was teeming with people from all walks of life since yesterday afternoon, as they waited to catch a glimpse of their favourite artistes.

As part of the annual Victory Month celebrations, an open-air concert, titled “Shobar Agey Bangladesh” (Bangladesh First), has just kicked off in the capital. Held at Manik Mia Avenue, the event is set to run till 11pm today (December 16), bringing together some of the country’s most celebrated artistes and performers.

This year, the Victory Day feels particularly significant due to this year’s powerful uprising. To commemorate this special day, here are some events to help you embrace the spirit of patriotism. 

Annie stated, “Shobar Agey Bangladesh” is a social and cultural organisation. Our goal is to prioritise and uphold the traditions and culture of Bangladesh while uniting the youth, students, and young leaders of the nation.”
