Lucky Ali returns to Bangladesh for two-city concert tour

Indian singer-songwriter Lucky Ali will perform in Dhaka and Chattogram on November 12 and 13, returning to Bangladesh after a three-year gap with a two-city concert tour organised by eCube Entertainment, with Dhaka Broadcast as the logistics partner.

Titled Lucky Ali Bangladesh Tour, the series will begin at Radisson Blu in Chattogram on November 12, followed by a concert at Chef’s Table Courtside on Madani Avenue in Dhaka on November 13.

Ali last performed in Dhaka in 2023, where his music drew an enthusiastic response from fans.

Ticket sales for the Dhaka concert have already begun, while the organisers are expected to make the official announcement about the Chattogram show on November 9. Several Bangladeshi bands will also perform alongside Ali at both venues, with the participating acts to be announced later.

Tickets for the Dhaka show are available through eCube’s website in three categories: general at 4,000 taka, premium at 7,000 taka and VIP at 12,000 taka.

The announcement comes amid concerns among music fans following the recent cancellation of several concerts featuring international performers. 

Responding to questions about whether Ali’s shows would proceed as planned, eCube representatives said they had discussed the necessary permissions with the relevant authorities and began selling tickets only after receiving a positive response.

The organisers said they remained hopeful of receiving full administrative support and were making every effort to deliver a memorable experience for concertgoers.

Ali established his musical identity in the 1990s with a blend of indie-pop and Bollywood melodies. His debut solo album, Sunoh, was released in 1996 and featured O Sanam, which brought him widespread recognition.

He also gained popularity as a Bollywood playback singer with songs including Ek Pal Ka Jeena, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, Aa Bhi Jaa, Jaane Kya Dhoondta Hai, Ahista and Safarnama.

After 2015, Ali gradually stepped away from playback singing and shifted his focus towards independent music.
