Balam to celebrate 33-year musical journey with Stockholm concert

Popular Bangladeshi singer Balam is set to perform in Sweden for the first time as part of a special concert marking more than three decades in music.

The concert, scheduled for June 28 at Hallunda Folkets Hus in Stockholm, will celebrate the artist’s 33-year career and feature a selection of his most beloved songs. Organisers say the event aims to bring together Bangladeshi music lovers living abroad for an evening dedicated to one of the country’s most recognisable voices.

The Stockholm show will be part of Balam’s ongoing European tour, which also includes performances in Italy before he heads to Sweden. The concert is expected to attract a large audience from the Bangladeshi diaspora, with excitement already building across social media.

Speaking about the upcoming performance, Balam said he is looking forward to meeting fans in Sweden for the first time and sharing an evening of music with expatriate Bangladeshis.

The singer, who remains active in the music scene, has recently returned to the spotlight with songs including “O Priyotoma” and “Rajkumar”, while continuing work on several new projects.

The event is being organised by Stage for Youth Multicultural Association Sweden. Organisers say preparations have been completed and the venue will open to attendees from the afternoon. Alongside the concert, visitors will also find food and community stalls, turning the occasion into a broader cultural gathering.

According to the organisers, the event is intended not only as a celebration of Balam’s long career but also as an opportunity to promote Bangla music and culture among younger generations growing up abroad.
