Legendary Bangladeshi singer Sabina Yasmin is ready to make a triumphant return to the stage at the 8th Bangladesh Festival, scheduled for May 17, at the Toronto International Pavilion. This marks her first international performance since recovery from a health setback.​

Organised by Weekly Bangla Mail, Canada's most widely circulated Bengali newspaper, the Bangladesh Festival is renowned as the largest indoor event celebrating Bangladeshi culture in the country. The festival promises a vibrant showcase of music, dance, and cultural exhibitions, drawing attendees from across North America.​

Sabina Yasmin, a 14-time National Film Award-winning artiste, has been a pivotal figure in Bangladeshi music for decades. Her return to the international stage is highly anticipated by fans and the diaspora community alike. In a heartfelt video message, Yasmin invited her fans to the event, saying, "​On May 17, I hope to see you all. We'll talk, share stories, and, of course, there will be music. I'm eagerly waiting to meet you."​

This performance follows Yasmin's recovery from a recurrence of cancer, for which she underwent treatment in Singapore earlier this year. Her resilience and dedication to her art continue to inspire many.​

Tickets for the festival are available through various platforms, including Eventbrite and AllEvents. However, regular tickets have reportedly sold out weeks in advance, with only VIP and VVIP options remaining.​

Joining Yasmin on stage will be other notable Bangladeshi artistes, including Mosharraf Karim, Robena Reza Jui, and Tanzika Amin, ensuring a night filled with cultural richness and entertainment.​
