In celebration of Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s 

historic March 7 speech, Chattogram is set to host Joy Bangla Concert 2024 tomorrow. This event, eagerly anticipated by organisers and music lovers alike, marks a first for the port city, transitioning from its traditional venue in Dhaka's Army Stadium.

Under the supervision of the Chattogram district administration and the Metropolitan Police (CMP), the MA Aziz Stadium is being prepared to welcome the crowds and artists for this grand musical event. The preparations are in their final stages, ensuring a seamless experience for the attendees.

This year's concert lineup includes renowned bands such as Artcell, Nemesis, Chirkutt, among others, promising a memorable experience for music enthusiasts. 

For the first time in its history, the Joy Bangla Concert will take place outside Dhaka, in response to the long-standing requests from the youth for a concert in their region. This move to Chattogram’s MA Aziz Stadium has been warmly received, with local youths expressing their anticipation and excitement for the event.

Young Bangla has made a unique call for registrations in the local Chatgaiyya dialect, inviting attendees to sign up for free through their official Facebook page or website: https://ticket.youngbangla.org/

Registration requires national identification, passport or birth certificate details, along with contact information.

Tonmoy Ahmed, coordinator of Awami League's web team, highlighted the significance of the concert being held in Chattogram on March 7, 2024, fulfilling the youth's desire for an event in their city. Young Bangla's promotional activities and official announcements have successfully drummed up enthusiasm among the youth, promising an event filled with passion and national pride.

Since its inception in 2015, the Joy Bangla Concert has been a pivotal platform for youth engagement and celebration of Bangladesh's rich cultural heritage, organised by the Center for Research and Information (CRI). 

Despite a hiatus during the 2021-2022 pandemic, the concert's return symbolised a resurgence of national spirit and unity under the "Joy Bangla" slogan, echoing the call for unity from the Liberation War era.
