Bangla Press Desk: Popular Pakistani singer Atif Aslam is coming to Dhaka for another electrifying performance. He will headline the charity concert “Echoes of Revolution 2.0”, organised by Spirits of July, next month.
According to a press release, the concert is scheduled to take place between 12 and 20 December 2025. “We will finalise the venue and announce the exact date very soon. While we are aiming for a slot between 12 and 20 December 2025, all final decisions will be announced through a press conference or an official statement depending on the overall situation,” the release said.
The organisers added that, along with international artistes, a number of Bangladeshi bands will also be invited to perform. Traditional folk music and popular Qawwali will be prioritised to highlight the country’s cultural heritage. Additionally, exhibitions related to the July Revolution— including photography, graffiti, and stage plays—are being planned.
Spirits of July is a non-profit platform run by young individuals upholding the ideals of the July–August 2024 student–public uprising. On 21 December 2024, the group organised the first “Echoes of Revolution” charity concert at the Army Stadium in Dhaka, featuring world-renowned musician Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan alongside prominent Bangladeshi artistes.
The concert was a major success, raising Tk16,511,485, which was handed over on 31 December 2024 to the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation (JSSF) to support families of those martyred or injured in the July genocide.
To continue efforts toward the rehabilitation of July victims and their families—and to reignite the spirit of July—the organisation has taken the initiative to stage “Echoes of Revolution 2.0”.
Atif Aslam last performed in Dhaka on 29 November 2024 at the concert “Magical Night 2.0”, enthralling fans with hits like “Pehli Dafa”, “Tu Chahiye”, “Woh Lamhe”, “Adat”, “Tere Bin”, and “Tu Jaane Na”.
