'Yolo Fest' entertains Dhaka with a rock concert
An estimated number of 25,000 followers flocked to the event to witness these legends of Bangladeshi band music. Four of the leading bands of Bangladesh, Nagarbaul James, Warfaze, Vikings and Powersurge enchanted people with some of their best compositions of all time.
Yolo Fest presented a holiday gift to the Dhaka audience with a mega rock concert at International Convention City, Bashundhara on Friday.
An estimated number of 25,000 followers flocked to the event to witness these legends of Bangladeshi band music. Through this mega concert, all the band members paid their homage to recently deceased rock star Ayub Bacchu by sporting black t-shirts.
Power surge commenced the show with LRB's most popular track "Shei Tumi." The crowd went into ecstasy, and could not ask for a better start. After that, Vikings raised the temperature with a cover of LRB's another favourite "Ghor Chara Ek Shukhi Chele." They also sang "Bhalobashi Jare" and concluded their performance with their most famous song "Opekkha."
Audience's wait for heavy metal songs came to its end when Warfaze got on stage, and everyone banged their heads with performances like "Moharaj," "Purnota" and "Boshe Achi Eka."
After the prayer break, James got back on the stage only to be greeted with the loudest cheer. The surrounding area of Bashundhara roared with the audience, who were addressing James as "Guru," and the singer also reciprocated by saying: "I love you all."
The rock maestro began his performance with the song "Dukhini Dukkho Koro Na." Later, he made the audience emotional with another of his famous song "Maa," and that was the moment when the crowd looked like a white swan with their mobile flashes on. This musical star-studded show ended with James performing his Hindi debut song "Bheegi Bheegi."
