Internationally acclaimed Indian singer-lyricist-composer Kabir Suman is all set to go ahead with his concerts in Dhaka as scheduled — but the venue has changed.
The three concerts will be held at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB), auditorium instead of the Bangladesh National Museum on October 15, 18 and 21.
This is because Kabir Suman has not been given permission to hold the concerts at the National Museum in Shahbagh, Mir Arif Billah of event management firm Peephole, told UNB on Friday.

“I am just saying that Kabir Suman will sing at IEB. Permission is almost done. I will reveal the details later," he added.
On Thursday, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) said that it did not give permission for the concert, as the Bangladesh National Museum is a key point installation.
DMP Commissioner Md Shafiqul Islam said that if the organisers seek permission to hold the event elsewhere, they will consider it.
The concerts were set to mark the 30th anniversary of Suman’s popular album 'Tomake Chai'.
