As we try to bring normalcy back to our daily lives with some excitement, Blue Brick Communications is hosting the long-awaited “Dhaka Retro” concert this evening. The event, which features four iconic bands of the 90s (Nagar Baul, Ark, Miles and Dalchhut), will also include performances by Jon Kabir, Oni Hasan and Drockstar Shuvo.

The concert, planned to be held at Dhaka Arena in Purbachal on October 18, was postponed at the last minute due to security concerns. It is now taking place tonight in a secure location on military installations in the capital’s Senaprangan.

“The 1990s are often cited as the golden age of band music, and bands from that period continue to thrive,” Kazi Riasat Nadid, managing director of Blue Brick Communications, told Prothom Alo.

“These groups rarely share the same stage anymore and many fans are eager to see them perform together. Keeping this in mind, we organized the ‘Dhaka Retro’ concert. I am sure it will be a memorable experience for everyone,” he added.

The doors of the event will start at 17.00 and will open to participants at 15.00. Tickets were available in two categories: VIP for Tk 2,400 and General Admission for Tk 1,400.
