Chirkutt to celebrate 20th anniversary with concert today

Popular band Chirkutt is set to mark its 20th anniversary with a concert at TSC. The ‘TSC to Madison Square Garden’ concert will be held today at 6:00 pm at Dhaka University’s gymnasium field (Central Field).

Cryptic Fate, Ashes, Bangla Five, Kaaktaal, and Bangu Bibi will also perform alongside Chirkutt.

Musicians Maksoodul Haque (Maqsood O’ dHAKA), Foad Nasser Babu (Feedback), Naquib Khan (Renaissance), Miles, and popular actress Jaya Ahsan will be attending the event as special guests.

The tickets will cost 500tk each. Chirkutt shared the stage with the world-famous German rock band Scorpions at a concert marking 50 years of Bangladesh’s independence at the Madison Square Garden in New York last year.

Formed in 2002, the band consists of vocalist Sharmin Sultana Sumi, guitarist Emon Chowdhury, keyboardist Jahid Nirob, and drummer Pavel Areen.

Eight years after the band was formed, they released their first album ‘Chirkuttnama’.

The band has popular songs like Kanamachi, Ekta Chera Din, More Jabo Re, Bondhu, Ahare Jibon, and many more.
