James to Perform Outside Parliament This Evening

After several months of hiatus, Dhaka is set to witness a grand open-air music event once again. Due to security concerns, large-scale concerts had been largely absent from the city, but a special musical evening has been organised to coincide with the swearing-in day of the new government.

The concert will take place on Tuesday, 17 February, at Manik Mia Avenue, in front of the National Parliament Building, organised by the “Shobar Age Bangladesh” Foundation. The highlight of the evening will be the nation’s beloved rock star James, who is expected to take the stage at 7:00 pm.

James’ team expressed their excitement at performing under the open sky after such a long interval. “It’s a rare opportunity for us to perform outdoors again,” a spokesperson for the band said. “We’re looking forward to giving the audience a memorable evening.” For music enthusiasts, the event promises to be a long-awaited and much-anticipated night.

In addition to James, other popular bands such as Warfaze and Shironamhin will also perform, bringing their iconic tracks and energetic performances to the audience. Organisers hope that this event will signal a renewed focus on developing the country’s band music scene under the new administration and pave the way for larger events both domestically and internationally.

Cultural analysts have highlighted the significance of such events in enriching Dhaka’s artistic landscape. They argue that open-air concerts not only provide entertainment but also foster creative opportunities for emerging musicians, enabling them to gain exposure on larger platforms. The organisers hope this will create a positive ripple effect, encouraging more large-scale cultural events in the city.

For music lovers, the concert represents a rare chance to enjoy live performances under the sky, marking a celebratory start to the new government’s tenure. With a mix of classic hits and contemporary tracks, the evening is set to captivate audiences across generations.

In summary, this Tuesday evening promises a festival-like atmosphere outside the National Parliament, as James and other celebrated bands perform. The event marks both the return of large-scale open-air concerts to Dhaka and a celebration of the city’s vibrant music culture.
