KATHMANDU, APRIL 7
After a successful tour of Australia, Nepal's pioneering folk-rock band Nepathya is set to perform at Gokarneshwar in Kathmandu this Saturday.
In a statement issued today, the band announced that this performance marks its return to the Kathmandu Valley for a live show after nearly two years. Nepathya last performed in the capital at Bhrikutimandap in mid-December 2022.
"Having concluded our concert series in Australia, we are now preparing for our next performance in Gokarneshwar," said lead vocalist and frontman Amrit Gurung. "We look forward to reconnecting with our audience at the concert scheduled for Saturday, April 12 (Chaitra 30), in Gokarneshwar," the statement reads.
The concert will take place in an open ground near Hanumanchowk, Gokarneshwar. The event is being organized by a local youth group, Ground of Events.
"There is palpable excitement among the audience as Nepathya is set to perform," said local organizer Shyam Krishna Shrestha. "The overwhelming response in both online and physical ticket sales ahead of the show has greatly encouraged us."
In addition to purchasing tickets through the local organizers, attendees can also buy them directly via the band's official website: www.nepathya.com.np, as stated in the statement.
At the Gokarneshwar concert, frontman Amrit Gurung will be joined on stage by Dhruva Lama on drums, Subin Shakya on bass guitar, Niraj Gurung on guitar, Shanti Rayamajhi on madal, and Dineshraj Regmi on keyboard.
