LOKKHICHHARA Band - LIVE IN CONCERT
You need to pre-book concert pass
লক্ষ্মীছাড়া (Lakkhichhara) — the name itself carries a certain rebellious spirit. Born in the bylanes of Kolkata in the late 1990s, this band didn’t just play music — তারা বাংলা রকের ভাষা বদলে দিয়েছিল। (They changed the language of Bangla rock.) Born from the inspiration of legendary musician Gautam Chattopadhyay, the band carries his dream forward.
নব্বইয়ের দশকে শুরু হওয়া এই যাত্রা আজও থামেনি। From college fests and small Kolkata pubs to becoming the first Bengali band on Channel V, Lakkhichhara carved their own path — loud, proud, and unapologetically Bengali.
“Care Kori Na”, “Shudhu Chai Tomay”, “Eka” — এই গানগুলো শুধু হিট নয়, এগুলো একটা প্রজন্মের অনুভূতি। (These songs aren’t just hits — they are the feelings of an entire generation.) Kolkata’s first progressive rock band। আর সেই গল্প এখনও চলছে।
17/10/2026, Saturday 6:30 pm onwards
