Rahat
Renowned Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan recently brought the magic of Pakistani music to Bangladesh, performing at the ‘Echoes of Revolution’ concert at the Army Stadium in Dhaka. He and his team performed without compensation, forgoing any profit from ticket sales.

Spirits of July organized the concert, which aimed to support families affected by the violent protests in July-August. All proceeds were donated to the Shuhada Memorial Foundation. Local bands Art Cell, Charkat, Aftermath, Silsila, and rap artists Shezan and Hanan also performed, creating a dynamic lineup.

Honoring students’ contributions to the Bangladesh revolution, organizers offered discounted tickets for students. VIP tickets were reduced from 10,000 to 8,400 Bangladeshi taka, front-row tickets from 4,500 to 3,420 taka, and general tickets from 2,500 to 1,600 taka. Special ticket booths were set up at public and private universities in Dhaka.

Previously, Pakistani singer Atif Aslam delighted Bangladeshi fans at the Magical Night 2.0 concert in Dhaka, extending his performance and personally interacting with the audience.

The Career of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
