Bryan Adams is to thrill cricket fans by performing at the opening of the World Cup in Bangladesh later this month – and he’ll celebrate by following up with his first ever gig in the country’s capital, Dhaka.
The Canadian rocker is due to tour India in the days before the ICC Cricket World Cup and he’s agreed to travel to neighbouring Bangladesh to play three songs at the event’s opening ceremony on 17 February.
He will then stay overnight in Dhaka before performing his first ever full concert in the city. Sunil D’Sa, vice president of marketing at Universal Music India, tells, “Bryan Adams was always going to be part of the opening ceremony of the Cricket World Cup.
The decision hadn’t been confirmed because of his dates and busy schedule. Since he had other commitments, his performance hadn’t fallen in place all this while. But it’s finally confirmed that the Canadian singer will perform at the opening ceremony.
“We would like to keep the three songs he will play as a surprise. I don’t want to ruin the surprise… Adams has also lined up an hour-long acoustic concert where he will promote his Bare Bones album.”
