It is rather telling of the people when the army has to show up because of how people behave at a concert. “They brought an international band to a mall to perform,” said Sakib, who had attended the concert with high hopes. “It was a total joke. Organisers started taking selfies with the band mid-show, while Jal had to ask 20 times for a light to be turned off.”
The night was a celebration of rock music, marking the 20th anniversary of Jal's debut album "Adat", and the gathering of legends. Scroll through the album to catch glimpses of the night.
The "Legends of the Decade" concert, initially scheduled for last Friday, was cancelled due to heavy rain. However, the event set to feature performances by the Pakistani band Jal alongside Bangladeshi bands Aurthohin, Vikings, and Conclusion has been rescheduled to take place today with a change of venue.
Mumtaz spoke with palpable excitement about returning to Bangladesh. "We are going to perform in Bangladesh after over a decade," he said, his eyes twinkling with nostalgia. "All Jal fans are probably grown up now, like me," he added with a chuckle. "But still they remember all the songs, it's so overwhelming for us to come here again and receive such a heartwarming welcome."
Bangladesh Metal Alliance in association with Coup de Grâce has concocted a DIY music festival titled "A Day In The Grass" slated for April 20. The event to commemorate music, culture, and new beginnings will run from 1:00pm to 10:00pm at The Marketplace in Birulia.
The concert was a joyful mix of youth, music, and enjoyment as visitors swayed and danced with the performances on stage.
