fans await Rahat’s upcoming performance
Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is set to captivate Dhaka for the second time as part of the BPL T20 Music Fest.
The much-anticipated concert will take place on December 23, 2024, at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
Known for his soul-stirring voice, Rahat’s appearance is the highlight of the festival.
His performance fee is reportedly set at TK 3.4 crore, sparking attention.
The title sponsor, Madhumoti Bank, has allocated a budget of TK 4 crore for the event.
Despite the much-anticipated appearance, this is not Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s first concert in Bangladesh in 2024.
On December 20, he performed at the charity concert ‘Echoes of Revolution’, organised by Spirits of July, at the Army Stadium.
That evening, Rahat performed without any payment, winning hearts with his generosity and soulful music.
Addressing the audience in Bangla, he greeted them:
“As-salamu alaykum, Bangladesh, I love you.”
His performance opened with ‘Aas Paa Khuda’ and was followed by a series of his iconic hits.
The stadium was brimming with fans, all entranced by his melodies.
A user said: “He is a popular artist. It’s a lot that he didn’t take any money for the Echoes of Revolution concert.
“No music artist in India would actually sing in these concerts without money.”
The event also featured popular Bangladeshi bands like Artcell, Chirkutt, Aftermath, and Silsila, along with rap artists SHEZAN and Hannan.
Their performances created a memorable evening of diverse musical styles.
Excitement is now building as fans await Rahat’s upcoming performance at the BPL T20 Music Fest.
This festival is part of the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) broader strategy to enhance the appeal of the Bangladesh Premier League.
A total budget of TK 7 crore is set for celebrations across Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet.
The initiative includes unveiling a youth festival logo, a BPL mascot, a theme song, and citywide graffiti.
Additionally, plans involve a social media influencer campaign and a promotional tour showcasing the tournament trophy and mascot.
To make the celebrations more accessible, the BCB has significantly reduced ticket prices of the concert.
Platinum tickets are priced at TK 8,000, gold at TK 6,000, silver at TK 4,000, and grandstand at TK 1,500.
These efforts aim to engage a broader audience and energise the cricketing festivities.
With Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s magnetic presence, the BPL T20 Music Fest promises to be a spectacular celebration.
