Pro-BNP cultural organization "Shobar Agey Bangladesh Foundation" is set to host the Swadhinata Concert on April 11 to celebrate Independence Day 2025 and promote local artistes. 

The concert will take place in four divisional cities, including Manik Mia Avenue in Dhaka.

BNP Publicity Secretary Sultan Salahuddin Tuku announced the event at a press briefing today after visiting the Dhaka venue. 

He said that the initiative, directed by BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman, aims to highlight local talent and Bangladesh’s cultural heritage.

Criticizing the current and past governments for prioritizing foreign artistes in state events, Tuku emphasized the need to support local performers who have represented Bangladesh internationally. 

He said that the concert would be inclusive, welcoming all genuine artistes, regardless of political views.

Besides the April 11 event, more concerts will be held across divisional cities and district headquarters in phases.
