Indian hip hop mogul, entrepreneur and philanthropist Badshah whose debut performance in the region was received with much admiration and acclaim, has paid live tribute to Bailey Road fire victims.
The Tecno Spark 20 Series Music Fest, organised by WebAble, electrified the ICCB Expo Zone with an unforgettable night of music and entertainment. Held on March 1st, this event attracted music enthusiasts from across the region, providing an evening filled with stellar performances by some of the most renowned artists, said a press release.
The festival was headlined by Indian hip hop star Badshah. The global superstar who has just announced his debut US& Canada Tour, captivated the 10,000 plus strong audience with his evergreen radio hits such as Jugnu’, ‘Paani Paani’, ‘Garmi’, ‘DJ Waale Babu’, ‘Let’s Nacho’, ‘Kala Chashma’, ‘Kar Gayi Chull’, ‘Genda Phool’, ‘Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai’ and ‘Paagal’.
During the course of his 90-minute performance, he remarkably maintained a moment of silence for the victims of the unfortunate fire incident at Bailey Road. Badshah’s performance marks the first largest ticket-selling public performance in the region, making it a milestone moment for the 38-year-old music juggernaut who releases his third studio album later this month.
Badshah shares, “Thank you Bangladesh for all the love and warmth. I had an incredible time and I look forward to visiting again. 'I'm grateful to the promoters for pulling off this stellar show seamlessly”
The event also featured a support line-up of acclaimed international and local Bangladeshi artists including Fuad & Friends, Pritom Hasan, Xefer, Sanjoy, and Blackzang. Each artist delivered electrifying performances that showcased their immense talent, leaving the crowd in awe and eager for more.
“The organizers pulled off an amazing event. From the timeline to security, artist hospitality everything was 100%.” said Fuad, looking back on the event's flawless execution.
The music fest was not just about the performances but also the overall experience. "I had an absolute blast at the show! The lineup was killer, the visuals were on another level, and the fireworks were just the cherry on top. It felt like a massive party with an international artist vibe but everything ran super smoothly. Totally epic!" shared Tahsin Mahmud, an attendee, highlighting the seamless organization and the high-quality production of the event.
The event also attracted international attention with music lovers flying in from Nepal, India and Srilanka to experience the music fest. The WebAble team along with its partners worked vigorously around the clock to ensure all attendees could enjoy the concert.
"This event was a game-changer in every sense of the word. We are proud to have played a role in bringing this vision to life and creating an unforgettable experience for attendees." said Rezwanul Haque, CEO, TECNO Mobile.
"The overwhelming positive feedback from our audience has been incredibly touching. Our ambition extends beyond just organizing concerts; we're dedicated to creating experiences that leave a lasting impact," remarked Anis Hannan Chowdhury, one of the event organizers. He further emphasized their vision to introduce more global artists to Bangladesh's stages and showcase local talent on the international scene, creating unforgettable memories for everyone involved.
"I am immensely proud of my team for their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts in making the Tecno Spark 20 Series Music Fest an outstanding success. We eagerly anticipate delivering impactful experiences and work that we do for our clients and audiences in the future," Syed Shadab Mahbub, Chairman of WebAble remarked. “Our future plans will revolve around creating more live event experiences at home and abroad and expanding our cultural footprint in the world.”

As the final notes faded into the night, attendees departed with hearts full of memories and spirits soaring.
