I found myself amidst the swirl of lights and beats at the Army Stadium yesterday, attending the highly-anticipated, "Coke Studio Bangla Live 2.0". The musical event began to unravel its pre-show at 3:30 pm, showcasing the talents of private university students handpicked through the Coke Studio campaign. Subsequently, the emerging band Hatirpool Sessions graced the stage, paving the way for the much-anticipated main lineup of Coke Studio Bangla. It was reported that the dispute between the Lalon band and Coke Studio Bangla was resolved on Thursday, and the band confirmed their participation in the event. In reflection, the concert emerged as a paradoxical experience—an evening of musical brilliance overshadowed by the shadows of controversy and logistical challenges.
