They will gather at Rabindra Sarobar at 3pm to express their solidarity with the students.

“Through our music, we will show our support. Those who are outside Dhaka are encouraged to stand in solidarity at suitable locations in their respective districts,” read a press release of the musicians on Friday.

“Let our solidarity with the students be peaceful and musical. We will create banners and festoons with lines from Bengali songs that have been sung during various movements and protests.”

“The presence of all our musicians is crucial here. When we stand together, the students will be inspired and feel strengthened knowing we stand by them. This is our sole purpose for gathering here. We will express solidarity with all the students’ demands,” the release added.
